Great looking parts! :D
Are these parts for use in your Sho-Buds or are you also selling these parts?

Hey Gerard, We are making these parts to:

1.) Cover our needs for the refurbs we are doing as Vintage Shobud Restorations.

2.) To help out folks that want to upgrade their shobuds themself, and want QUALITY parts at fair prices and in a timely manner.

Making such parts, the prices become more reasonable with quantity runs, obviously, so we are able to offer our excess.

We are able to make any part needed, even endplates, keyheads and changers, fingers, barrels ect.

These are our first parts to make available, and will be perfect upgrade to the rack and barrel guitars and Pro II type guitars. We will post pictures of other parts as they become available--stay tuned.(pun intended)

A much needed reliable source of parts, and a really quality guy behind it. That's great looking stuff, James.

I have been asked in a private email, a fair question. Someone wondered if I was buying parts from Mr. Coop to resell. That, in a way is a fine compliment, as Mr. Coop makes some awesome parts.

But no, respectfully, I am not connected in anyway, form or fashion to Mr. Coop. These are my parts built by us(my team).

Thank you for your interest. :)

Great job James - really impressive. If you can deliver relatively quickly, my guess is that you will have a steady stream of orders. Just think how many 'Buds are out there that need your TLC.

Good luck with the venture.

I'm waiting for someone to start making Pro series end plates. They'd probably have to be a custom order thing (i.e. tuning rod holes are different on some models, round and square front versions, etc.), but it'd be nice to know that replacements are available if anyone needs them.
Sho-Bud Pro III + Marshall JMP 2204 half stack = good grind!

You can see this puller is a "ONE-PIECE" and not two pieces like the original.
Just a brilliant design I might say.
These parts that James Morehead is producing; I endorse...and are dang good.

What's even better you couldn't find a more honest, articulate individual to make 'em either.

How is the "pedal puller" (not the bellcrank puller) attached to the cross shaft?

James I believe Doug is asking about the 3-hole flat bar attached to the cross-shaft in the picture??
It looks like a weld to me.
