Latest Sho-Bud Pro I restoration by "Steel Guitar Nashville". This is a incredible sounding Pro I now belonging to Ben Rubright of central FL.

It has just undergone a complete rebuild by myself and Terry Crisp. Originality was important as was the great tone and playability along with its beauty. Retaining these qualities was a "must" to preserve.
Photos here don't do this perfect guitar justice.
A lot of great guitar for very little money.

Bobbe and Terry

Terry and I thank you all, you too Ben (the new owner).

Mike Cass also gives us a lot of help consistantly, usually on the P-P Emmons guitars when he isn't beating up the road with Ray Price!

I am lucky to have such a great crew, my customers are too!

Thanks Bobbe! I take it that means they were made for less than 2 years. There was one on another thread that was a wrap-around, but much less primitive than mine.
