F/T Sho~Bud Pro 1 Canada

I would prefer to keep this deal in Canada if possible, because I'm thinking about a trade for a Gibson or Gretsch electric (trade value $1,600-$1,800) and don't want to pay taxes at the border. Tell me what you've got. I will obviously need pics. For straight sale, email me and we can talk.

Here are the specs on the 'Bud:

Circa '74, pre-pot metal round front Pro 1
Gorgeous grain, one of the best I've seen
3+4, with LKL straight (wing added)
ABC pedals Emmons
LKL Raising E's
LKR Raising 1 and 7 half-step
LKR lowering E's
RKL lowering 2nd full and half, with half-stop installed
A few dings in front and around the body, nothing serious
Case used but solid, black tape around handle but solid
One leg is unadjustable, minor warp. Still very usable
All pulls are smooth and stay in tune
Pickup and coil split work great
Guitar sounds very "Lloyd", fabulous Sho-Bud tone
Lots of sustain all the way up the neck

Bump for a pretty little red head.

The more i look at this guitar the less i want to trade it:

Will sell for $1,700 US packed, insured, paypalled and shipped. That's basically $1,500 without all of the above, from Eastern Canada. I will now also consider Guild Starfires and Epiphone Elite hollowbodies in trade.
