| my guess it that it does come from the sho-bud gene pool....but older and different....like maybe a reworked permanent....obviously i'm no expert......does it function well? |

I think somebody took a S~B cabinet and did some surgery to it. There are some 'Bud parts there.

| I'm with Herb, body, endplates, necks ( not fretboards ), pedals and rack, PU's are all Sho Bud. The rest of it is not. |

| I'm along the lines with the rest of the guys. I was a Sho-Bud player up until 82. What I can do is take a look at it if you would like. I work out of Wood River and have heard and met Scott before. Let me know. |

My current opinion is that the guitar is NOT a Shobud. During that time period, early to mid 1960s, several other companies were copying Shobud's design. There have been several threads lately asking about very similar-looking guitars. You might search for them. Other makers that come to mind are Miller, and Marlen, but evidently there were more. I say, not Shobud, but a fairly nice old guitar!

| Check out some of the wonderful literature that Michael Lee Allen is posting. Check his Miller thread, and his Marlen thread. You'll see how similar these guitars are to Shobuds. |
