SALE PENDING! Sho-Bud LDG - Excellent Condition -1974

Post by Chuck Back »

Incredible guitar! This guitar is all original 3X4 standard E9th Emmons tuning. It had be in the case for years and doesn't look like it has had much playing time. I cleaned it up, polished all the aluminum parts, buffed out the body, added new strings, tuned it up and it is a great looking and great playing guitar. Case is also in good shape. I'm asking $2000 plus shipping.

Been asked to send undercarriage pictures. Serial number is 11660. The fingers are 2 & 2. The guitar is still mostly green but there are a few areas that are turning brown.

Yes serial # 11660 was born February 1977.
Last year of the round cross-shafts and curved knee levers and first year of the treaded narrow pedals.

Interesting! The invoice he showed me from Scotty’s Music Store showed the guitar was a 1974 so I didn’t bother validating as I trusted the source, but Ricky is absolutely correct! This guitar is a 1977. Checked with pending buyer and this is not an issue with him. So the guitar is still sold. Thanks Ricky for providing the update!

Chuck it is still almost exactly the same as a '74(except pedals); as the finger tops are the same and rollers same; pulling system underneath the same...so to me; year doesn't make the diff...it is the fingers/fingertops and what his holding the vibrating parts....this one is very very nice.
