'76 Sho~Bud LDG 3x4 Restored (Sold)

[Lynn Stafford]

I'm selling this beautiful Sho~Bud LDG pictured below for my good friend, bandmate and SG Forumite Ralph Thompson. He is facing some very serious and challenging health issues and asked me to do this to raise money for medical expenses.

Here is a photos of Ralph behind his steel at one of our steel jams (with me sitting on his left).



I restored this steel for Ralph a couple of years ago but it hasn't been played much ever since. I doubt if he's even taken it out to a gig. He has primarily been a lead guitar player and vocalist for our band, until he became ill several months ago.



During the restoration, we decided to leave the original finish intact, since it still looked very nice. The guitar was completely disassembled, parts cleaned, brightwork professionally polished and then reassembled. I replaced the fret board with a new one from Tom Bradshaw. Original "dust catcher" fret board is included. Someone earlier must have narrowed the original wide pedals.

Here are some photos of Ralph's restored Sho~Bud.















Emmons setup with the E's on the left knee. Original case is sound and in good condition.

$2600.00 plus FedEx ground shipping.

I can accept PayPal (add 3%), cashiers check, or personal check if you're not in a hurry.

I'm not charging Ralph anything for doing this, so the entire net proceeds will all go to him.

If I were in the market for a LDG. That would be the one. I've only seen wide pedals on 73's and few 74's. But I ain't seen em all. Best of luck to your friend .

I'll vouch for Ralph, he's a man of integrity and was a good friend of mine in the Air Force. We cut our teeth on blues and country guitar together. He's a stand up guy, and was a successful Marine Biologist (at least I believe that's what he did after the Air Force)till he retired. If he's selling his beloved LDG, there's got to be a good reason for it. If Ralph walked into a room and sat next to you and said hello, you'd think you'd have known him all your life. I'd buy the guitar myself to help him but because of my own dilemma's, it's financially impossible. I can tell you that if he bought this guitar it was after much research and that after he got it, he took care of it like a new born baby. These LDG's are going up and up in value all the time so it's a solid investment.
