Sho-Bud 3x4 S-10 LIKE NEW

Post by Evan McGill »

Just bought this guitar a month ago. It’s a NEAR MINT condition Sho Pro. Mid 70s, square front, gumby head, wide pedals, two hole pullers, dust catcher fret boards. 3X4. It is incredibly clean. There are 7 small bar dings on the back rest. That's it. They are so small that they you can't see them in the photos...

It was my first S-10 and truth I am far too tall for this guitar. Plays great, but I can’t fit behind it. I guess I need an SD-10. Anyways, just trying to get what I paid for it. Asking $2050 with shipping included. Set up is below. Russ Wever cleaned it up for me. Thanks!

Evan...Have you tried rod extensions to raise the guitar? I'm 6'8"+ and played the same S10 Sho-Bud for years...Added 3" extenders and got some clear 5/8" tubing(Ace Hardware) to slide up on the front legs... works great! The other option is to have longer rods made... 29" work perfectly,then just add the clear tubing (3") on front legs and raise the back legs to level.....nice guitar! It is true that the wider spread of a SD10 or D10 will be more stable for us tall guys when raising the guitar and hitting the knee levers...

This is a nice guitar Evan. Pedals show no wear. It has a lot of sought after features. An SD10 won't be any taller unless made that way or altered, as Chris mentioned. Good luck on the sale. Ron

I've played 2 SD-10s and I seemed to have a lot more room and I've talked to some people who have had similar issues. Chris, I'll long into what you mentioned. Thanks!
