Does she have a price in mind? Please provide this detail. I'd also like to see it all put together and a shot of the changer from the end to see how the strings attach (pin or slot). Thanks.

Very interested in this guitar!

Thanks for the additional pictures. I'm not a big fan of the trimmed-down pedals. I like the pins for strings.

She has a decent price on it. However, I'm going to pass and let somebody else take her home.

Both those Sho~Buds Ray has; have been totally upgraded with non-original parts; pullers; changer fingers....but look to be a very good job. I've seen much worse upgrades...this person knew what they are doing and making. But not original really at all..other than Body; endplates(but cut out bigger for changer fingers; and keyheads.
Both look like they are fully loaded with changes and it's much more versatility then original. And I see pins on fingers so somehow they kept the best sounding 6061 Aluminum finger tops Shobud ever had; and rivot new raise and lower arms...yeeehaaaa...these look real tasty.

Other than probably being on the heavy side, I love both these guitars. RP

Some nice looking Buds here wish they were closer too Nashville.
Some very good up grades on these beautiful Buds.
It says in add that Albert Johnson did the upgrades.
Albert was a master steel guitar restoration person an also made many improvements on Buds an Emmons steels some of his improvements are being used today.
