Purchased this beautiful Sho-Bud from Lloyd Maines last year and had Ricky Davis set this up as a straight Emmons setup. Plays great, sounds WONDERFUL!!! Your classic Sho-Bud sound. Some slight fading on back side (see photos).

Case is functional, but has seen better days.

Feel free to contact me via phone, text, or email.

I got this guitar last Friday. It plays like a dream and sounds great. I have question though. If you look at it from the right angle the front has smudges or signs of the guitar rubbing on something. How do I get them out?

I wouldn't worry about smudges, it is 40 years old guitar, and the price is unbelievable low for this instrument ... these are awesome guitars...great buy my friend

Certainly if anything got on there that is raised or smudgy..is most likely some kind of glue/tape....bla bla...and I have used goo be gone pictured here...to eliminate or I have used 3 & 1 oil to rub...and neither of those will remove finish...and then after that I would moisturize with Old English Lemon Oil.

Not real concerned Damir. Let me tell you the tone makes up for the smudges. I was just wanting to make it look the best I can. Mark is going to miss this gem down the road. Thought maybe a forum member had some insight. It came with some terrycloth towels packed around it and I just wondered if they were the culprits. You can't see it dead on just from the side. I must repeat what a guitar.
