Here's a later Bud I rebuilt from a piece of wood and a box full of parts I got from Bob Muller. It took a while to find a working set of Sperzel tuners, but oh the girl could sing.

Johnie,

This was an early Christmas gift to myself, a 1979 PRO~I that I found and refurbed a few weeks back.

Plays and sounds great! Its a keeper!

The sigs were engraved by Buddy and Jeff in the early 80's at Jeffran College.

Armrest by Leigh Pollari.

Happy Holidays to you and Sue!

J. D.

Thanks John. Love the sound of this Sho-Bud. It was completely rebuilt and plays beautifully.

Used to belong to the great Ronnie Miller, had an X in front of the serial number, which indicated experimental.

This is my 1976 LDG. It's just starting to turn that great Army/Olive green.

A '78 Pro-II I bought from Tommy Detamore a couple of years ago. Tommy, I still absolutely love this axe. It makes me smile at each gig.
