John, I thought you were reducing the herd, not adding to it!
This one reminds me of when I was young they sold "kit" sailboats at unbelievable prices. But the "kit" only had the hull. When you added up everything you needed to make it a full sailboat (bought from them, of course) you might as well have bought a new sailboat ready to go! So, looks like you have the "kit" Sho-Bud! Good luck with her! If anyone can make her look good, you can!

John, there you are! Been missing you on the forum as of late. Got a bit of a road in front of you with this one. No worries, I trust you'll have her up and running. Keep us informed will you?

Man, it will be cool to see this one come together if we are privy to the progress along the way. I especially like looking at old beater brown and/or green Buds. Someday, man...
I don't have much in the way of parts for you, except some loose screws, and I think those are plentiful around here. Good luck with your build, John! |

Guys! Thank you for the undeserved compliments! Many here do this kinda stuff, and there are some real standout restorers.
But,,,,,,, this posting was sort of a test and a poor joke. It's an odd guitar! Look at the pics again, closely. There's a clue in one. Examine the pics, and tell me what you see.
Chris Lucker has it completely figured out, and it's cool!

Looks to be 2 keyheads missing on that fat neck. Is that a cresant moon on the face of the cab? Perhaps one of Mooney's guitars?

Just one keyhead missing on the fat neck. The inside neck was a 12 string, but the parts were stripped and probably used on another guitar.
Not a crescent moon, just a scratch. No Mooney connection. |

"how come no cutout on top of cabinet for changer?"
That's a small part of the mystery. But the guitar was never completed. |

this is an intriguing guessing game!
was the front neck to be strung with octave strings like a 12 string guitar?? |

Correct Chris.
Decal is the right one, "Shobud, Nashville.". |
