Sho-Bud Pro-1 looking for info

Post by Jackson Fleder »

I've been lurking here for a while but this is my first time posting a thread. :D Love this forum and I'm so grateful for this resource. Thank you all who come here and take the time to share your knowledge!

I'm looking for info about a Sho-Bud pro-1 I just picked up.

The man I bought it from said the guitar was in Johnny Paycheck's band so I'm very interested to know whose guitar this was... He said he bought it about 5 years ago from the wife of the owner who had recently died but couldn't remember their names.

I can't find any serial number but there is a stamp on the inside end plate that reads 1-A-2. The changer is 3 raise, 2 lower, no gumby keyhead, 4 knee levers, 3 thin pedals, not sure what pickup but it sounds sweet.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

hey, thanks for the info on the pickups.
yeah, I can't find any serial number anywhere on the undercarriage, is that strange?
