Who could I get in touch with about adding a C6 neck to my Shobud Professional?
It was built as a double neck, but has the pad like the LDG.
Also, price range?
Would it be cheaper to sell it and buy something that's already a D-10?
Thanks!!

It would take some work but it’s possible. If yours is rack-and-barrel these parts could be used.

Maybe you could find someone with a D10 that wants a SD10.
There's always somebody out there looking to chop up a D10 to make a single out of it. Maybe you could work a trade? That's my advice, FWIW.
Unless you can find someone who has stripped the back neck off a double and kept all the parts, this is going to be an expensive undertaking. They might not even fit right if they're not original to the same guitar. Those old Sho~Buds could be quite a bit different one to the other.
Buying changer, pickup, neck, pedals, levers etc., all the miscellaneous and all the mechanics would be like buying a whole 'nuther guitar, cost wise.
Sometimes we forget about all the little stuff that gets lost in these conversions such as screws, springs, spacers etc. that could end up costing quite a bit of money if you can find them at all.
