Gene if you make it back around to this thread, anything you could tell me about model , SN would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave. My Professional was delivered to me in the spring of and had the serial number This doesn't seem to fit the numbering scheme, any ideas? Gene, one thing I have wanted to know, is how many Sho-Buds were made in an average day?
Was it more in the Ark. So is it safe to assume that they were numerical after in I have had my own theories, but kept them to myself because I did not really know.
I did not want anyone trying to date their guitar based on my speculations about the serial number. I had noticed before that a in lot of the old numbers, the first digit seemed to be a good guess at the year for , for for example.
Is the first digit 1 because it was , and because it was the first completed after they started keeping this record? Did the fist digit have anything at all to do with the date? Before this, were they really all just random, or was there supposed to be a method to it that was often ignored?
Sorry for all the questions, I know a lot of us Sho-Bud fans are covering you up with emails. Take your time to answer, and thanks very much for any information that you may have to share with us. Gene, I know you will be overrun with requests but if you have time could you see if you have info on Thanks, Steve.
Bobby, While in Conway Ar. My schedule was 1-Supper Pro, 5 - Mavericks, and 4 others, either single necks or double necks. I had one girl who assembled the Supper Pro's, one girl who did the mavericks and two girls who assembled the Pro 1, 2, and 3.
The first number of the serial had nothing to do with any date or year. Every thing was just in numerical order because the number was the last thing before packing and it was put on the guitar after "JASU" would adjust and tune the guitar. Gene, Thanks for taking the time to look that up. Gene, I am not a spring chicken either. I know it came from the Goodman warehouse in Cinci.
My serial number is Could you please help. Life Member of AFM local I think this is correct. Gene Haugh. Gene, this is a fascinating read! You are a valuable historian! So sad I never wrote down the serial on the that I bought directly from ShoBud in Nashville in early april I think. I still remember the neat stationery that Duane used. He would write me a message on the left side of the paper then I would reply on the right side! Funny how one can remember all these silly details but I guess it was a pretty important milestone in my life.
I was 24 then Can you find anything at all on the basis of this info? The Baldwin-era Crossover I had one, got the t-shirt and the cap. Thanks, but no thanks. The Professional was wonderfully constructed, and by that time Sho-Bud had gotten their act relatively together with the all-pull changer. The rack and barrel undercarriage worked well, but way too much extraneous metal to carry around.
I bought, brand new, a with the "screw-thru-top" pickups that had tone to die for. Played her for 12 years, owned her for Why did I ever get rid of her?!?! The Pro- series came out around 73 or so. I believe the first models had aluminum changer fingers rather than the later zinc pot metal changer fingers which were prevalent around After that model, cost cutting decisions lowered the quality of the instrument.
Thanks for the info. I don't remember reading anything bad about them. Are they supposed to be made inferior? Somebody please respond! I can't answer or give an opinion about a Super Pro I'm sorry, cause I loose interest after the Pro II. I believe a rack and barrel system can play perfectly If set up properly The Pro II's were basically a Professional body but a mechanism transition that took a couple of years and I've seen 3 major differences in mechanisms and they were all Pro II's From: portsmouth.
Mechanically the Super is one of the best. It lacks tone and the "Fragile" die cast parts are a real problem. With the limitations on some of the mechanics I get the response that a Pro with alumin neck and a George L pickup can hold it's own with any thing out there.
Weight is a majorfactor. They must be fairly good and acceptable or I wouldn't get calls from happy owners that have owned one for yearsEd Naylor Steel Guitar Works. Ed Naylor Member From: portsmouth. I say No unless you are losing your house or going to jail for back alimony payments. Right now they are selling well-but seriously-keep it as a family heirloom and someday "Little Billy" will be glad Aunt Minnie kept "Uncle Joe's" guitar that he loved and played so much.
Save your pennies and buy a new guitar- but keep 'Redbird"How often have you regretted selling your 55 Chevy HT or the 77 Cordoba????
Ed Naylor Steel Guitar Works. I've owned two. I really don't think the wood or aluminum neck makes much difference in the tone. I've never dealt with the rack and barrel system, so, I can't speak one way or the other on that.
I recently put a BL in the C6th neck and am so pleased that I plan on putting one in the E9th neck. The shaft of the disc is elongated, with a hole for the pull rod in the shaft, instead of the disc, the set screw then comes laterally, through the flat part of the disc, down the inside of the shaft It's hard to describe, but looks like a very simple connection, without any "c" clips..
Ricky, where'd you get those? They are really cool. Has anyone ever seen another one like this? It has the nylon tuners. From: Southampton, England posted 02 February AM profile I have to totally agree with Ed Naylor's assertion that a Pro with alloy necks and George L's in place "can hold it's own with any thing out there". I don't want to start a wood versus alluminium neck thing as it's been done to death on the forum, but it is a combination that certainly works for me.
Even if I were to get other guitars, my Pro stays with me. The Super Pro's sounded OK to me - the fragile levers were unacceptable in my view. Many people who bought the Super Pro over here resorted to re-engineering much of the undercarriage with more substantial alluminium or stainless steel parts.
That is what was on the LDG's when they came out I have worked on hundreds of them and do not recall seeing a connector as Ricky described. The later Maverick had changer fingers that were "Stock" top portions of the "Die cast" fingers.
