shobud for sale on cincinnati craigslist

Post by M. Esta Theobald »

This is not my guitar, nor do I know much of anything about it, except what the add says, and the seller sent this email: "This guitar was purchased about 6 years ago from a friend who recorded country gospel. There are 4 knee levers and three on the floor. The Deck is current set with a 10 string E9 Deck. There is an arm rest where a C deck could be added.
Thanks.
Jason"
I was interested in purchasing it though, but can't scrape together the cash, even though the price looks good at $950. Check it out here: http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/msg/371431868.html

So, what I've been calling "necks" all these years are actually "decks"? :shock:

Ted, the Baldwin Crossover had an aluminum frame that wrapped around the back, so I'd say due to the wood back (and no sign of a lever hole on back) it's probably a converted Professional.

Perhaps it could be a project guitar, but not at that price.

Painting a ShoBud white is an un-natural act. :(

This guitar has been spray painted, is cracked and is in poor condition. Not worth much.

Could always gut it, turn it upside down and put wheels on it...

Oh, wait... that's been done.

Never mind. :)

It can be brought back, but not at that price! Wonder what the wood is like?
