Looking for Sho-Bud repair/overhaul person in Austin, TX

[John Bode]

Hello friends,
My good friend and long time bandmate (over 45 years) passed away last week. He was active on these boards and I'll post an obit when his son can access his computer and figure out his username.
Anyway, he had this old Sho-Bud that he was planning to ship to Austin to have repairs. I'm pretty sure it needed a thorough overhaul. It's been a long time since I've seen it, so I can't remember the details - he's been playing Mullen for some years now.
If you have any idea who this repairman was, could you kindly post that information below? If you think it could have been you, please reach out - Matt was from Kansas. He'd been in contact with someone about this, I just don't know who. His son and I would like to make sure the guitar is done right.
Thanks!

Probably Ricky Davis would know. He's pretty much known as the Sho~Bud guru around here with the pre SP models his specialty.

There were a couple guys who performed what you're describing but I'm not sure where they were located.

That does sound familiar to me; but I can't find any correspondence in my Email about it....Matt may of Called and we talked and/but he didn't get back about Shipping it or working on it details; is why I wouldn't have any details in Email. My Email is: sshawaiian2362@gmail.com if you have pics top to bottom; I can look at it and tell you What i would do and how much it may cost - ish....
Ricky Davis ( I live in Liberty Hill, Tx now; he may of contacted me when I was living on my ranch between Bertram and Burnet texas.)??

Thanks Ricky,
He may well have called. He was talking about shipping it to you but then he became ill and spent the next several months with everything on hold. He was more of a phone call guy than an email guy, so..
I'll pass your info along.
