I know, I keep coming back to this. Everything about it looks superb. For me , "this is the berries". :mrgreen:

Someday, I am going to find an old Sho-Bud, and I know exactly who I am going to take it to.

Hans, that was the word I was going to use. Even the photography is beautifully done. The mark of a perfectionist everywhere.

James, your work sure is nice. If I ever wind up with another ShoBud, it's gonna wind up in your hands for some "Morehead Magic".

Do you find that the tuning barrel adjusters help a lot? I just purchased an older Sho-Bud and there are two on the underside of it, but I was wondering if I should put more on.

Chris, Shoot me an email, and I will be glad to explain how the barrel tuners work, and why they are essential for the single/single changer--as well as how your particular changer works. :)

Wow, Wow, WOW! Just goes to show what dedication, love and attention to detail can produce. Every time I see a steel get finished by Mr Morehead it re-lights the fire under my butt to get my old 'Bud "Moreheaded". Now, If only I did'nt need a new roof on the house.....
