Here's some of my new shobud style parts.

Great looking parts!
Are these parts for use in your Sho-Buds or are you also selling these parts?

Beautiful, James!

Hey Gerard, We are making these parts to:

1.) Cover our needs for the refurbs we are doing as Vintage Shobud Restorations.

2.) To help out folks that want to upgrade their shobuds themself, and want QUALITY parts at fair prices and in a timely manner.

Making such parts, the prices become more reasonable with quantity runs, obviously, so we are able to offer our excess.

We are able to make any part needed, even endplates, keyheads and changers, fingers, barrels ect.

These are our first parts to make available, and will be perfect upgrade to the rack and barrel guitars and Pro II type guitars. We will post pictures of other parts as they become available--stay tuned.(pun intended)

A much needed reliable source of parts, and a really quality guy behind it. That's great looking stuff, James.

Thanx for the kind words, my friends.

I have been asked in a private email, a fair question. Someone wondered if I was buying parts from Mr. Coop to resell. That, in a way is a fine compliment, as Mr. Coop makes some awesome parts.

But no, respectfully, I am not connected in anyway, form or fashion to Mr. Coop. These are my parts built by us(my team).

Thank you for your interest.

aren't those a little too nice for a sho-bud?

i hope the bodies don't reject the transplant!

Great job James - really impressive. If you can deliver relatively quickly, my guess is that you will have a steady stream of orders. Just think how many 'Buds are out there that need your TLC.

Good luck with the venture.

Dang James,

These are so nice that I'm going to have to find another basket case to put 'em on.

I'm waiting for someone to start making Pro series end plates. They'd probably have to be a custom order thing (i.e. tuning rod holes are different on some models, round and square front versions, etc.), but it'd be nice to know that replacements are available if anyone needs them.

That would be me.

Awsome james, this is great to know that you are doing this!

James, Check your e-mail. Thanks Marty

Marty try resending it--it didn't come. James

Hi James, how much are the brass discs with the circlip? I could use a few for my Pro II. BH

Shoot me an email and let's talk, Bob.

You can see this puller is a "ONE-PIECE" and not two pieces like the original.
Just a brilliant design I might say.
These parts that James Morehead is producing; I endorse...and are dang good.

What's even better you couldn't find a more honest, articulate individual to make 'em either.

How is the "pedal puller" (not the bellcrank puller) attached to the cross shaft?

I gotcha now Doug. Thanx for the kind words.

James I believe Doug is asking about the 3-hole flat bar attached to the cross-shaft in the picture??
It looks like a weld to me.
