I’m looking to trade my ‘73 Sho Bud LDG for a D10 or U12.
It’s got an Emmons standard setup with E’s on the left, and a Bill Lawrence 710 pickup.
It’s in a solid road case and has never let me down!
Feel free to holler at me if you’re interested!

It’s #5237, just double checked a serial list and it looks like I might be off by a year. Is this actually a ‘74? I was told it was ‘73 by someone but would love to clear that up.
Yes Ryan it is March 1974...which for history Info. From May 1973 to May 1974 was the first year of the LDG and they were all the same single/single fingers(best sounding fingers shobud ever made)and barrel tuning. and that first year is the only time they added "Green Tint" to the spay texture underneath...on ALL Sho~bud models to commemerate the first year of the new model LDG.
So yours is the same as any LDG made during that '73 to '74
It's a GREAT one.
Lloyd has the first; I have the second and they are the only ones with White underneath; before they came up with the green tint idea. Here's a pic of lloyd showing me his and mine upside down in front of fireplace.

They say "thats how it goes". I say "that ain't the way it stays!"
Ricky that is amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, I love to learn new things about these wonderful instruments. Great pic of Lloyd!
