--> Sho~Bud Pro II Custom D-10 8 & 4 - $1,795.00 + shipping

Erv Niehaus · Post by **Erv Niehaus** » 28 Oct 2015 8:56 am

I'm putting my Sho-Bud Pro II Custom up for sale.
It is a D-10 with 8 pedals and 4 knee levers. I bought this guitar several years ago and never got around to playing it. It is in excellent condition with the exception of some bar dings between the necks. This is an early Pro II Custom without the pot metal parts. It has the dust collector fretboards and the teardrop knee levers. The changer is two up and two down with two hole pullers.
The serial No. is 11320 if somebody can put a date on it. It comes with a new case and I am asking $1,795.00 for it plus shipping & PP charges, if used.
The copedent is pretty much straight Emmons.
I took some pictures, hope they show up ok.
Thanks

Erv the only thing I could come up with is serial#11302 was built 11/9/76 and serial#11338 was built 11/22/76 so I am assuming the one you have for sale was probably built around 11/11/76. Slim

Erv the year is spot on but the exact build date I had to assume so at least we got you an exact year if an exact date is what your after john Billings here on the forum could probably steer you the right resource. As always have a blessed day. Slim

Mike,
No, I don't need the exact date, I just didn't want to give anyone a bum steer as to its age.

Erv,

Could you tell me what pickups are on this guitar? They look like Bill Lawrence 710s or XLR-16 or ??? Just curious.

Thanks,

Don

I've delt with Bill Lawrence 710 pickups for quite a while and they look exactly like them. But if they aren't; then they were made by someone that is trying to copy the Bill Lawrence pickups; so just rip them out and put the real Bill Lawrence in; as that is why someone is trying to copy them...they are THAT GOOD....well that's also why Lloyd Green uses the 710 in his LDG; the very first LDG built...ha....

Ricky,
I have no reason to believe they are not originals.

The first thing I did when I bought a used Super-Pro, was to put 710's is. Made a world of difference.

Erv Niehaus · Post by **Erv Niehaus** » 3 Nov 2015 11:05 am

Richard,
This one should be ready to go then!

I can't believe this is still for sale. If I had $$, I would be all over it too.
