I have two D-10 Sho-Bud steels that I am going to restore, "The Professional" and "The Pro II Custom" and I need a source for the decals if there is such a thing. Your help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks, Erv I checked Bobbie's web site - he has most of what I need. What I have to decide is what color the Sho Pro II will be when I finish. It's dark mahogany (I think) but scrtached up badly so my question to myself is "Do I want to bleach it or just make if a dark color. The decals Bobbie has are mostly for lighter colr guitars. Anyway, thanks a lot.

Thanks for posting this thread. I was wondering where one could get these decals, too. Not to hijack but...

I'm fixing up a Pro III that's pretty banged up and sun-bleached, so I was wondering if anyone has a link to info on refinishing the cabinet, maybe something short of totally stripping and redoing it? Thanks!

Ron,
Do a search here on the Forum.
Ricky Davis has a formula worked up for refinishing Sho~Buds that doesn't involve removing the old finish.
He just sort of "rejuvinates" the old finish.
