How much to have Sho-Bud refurbished and Cooped?

Instruments, mechanical issues, copedents, techniques, etc.

Not every 'Bud needs a rebuild. If you can find a guitar that has the 2-hole bell cranks with swivels in good operating condition, a rebuild may not be necessary.

I bought a "pot-metal" 3R/2L Pro-II and after breaking several knee levers, I totally "Coop-ed" it out (including changer fingers). John made and installed the parts, but I did all the setting up. It wasn't cheap........but it was definitely worth it.
