The bolt-ons or the wrap-arounds (or both) had tuning stability problems, if I recall correctly. I've only owned cut-tails. I've also owned a couple of '73 round-front Pro-IIs. Those are the best Sho-Buds to have, most people will tell you.

If the tone of each kind of guitar were sixes, the Sho-Bud would be the better on mechanical feel – typewriter types, not so loosey-goosey like a push/pull (although there are some tricks here and there to make a p/p better).
