I also owned your old Sho-Bud for a good while, the one in your picture here. FINE old guitar! Just have to keep the keyhead nutt oiled so it will stay tuned.
I sold it to Larry Sasser when he was on "Nashville Now" tv show then bought it back a year later.
Let me know if you'd like to sell it back to me again,,,,,,,

Thanks for the insight Bobbe. Tells us more, like whats the deal with the serial number? When was it made? Was this the only one with this style head? Is this the same casting as the other perms, just with the hook cut off? Who was the original owner of this one? Did you own this one. Is this guitar featured in your book? Sorry to overwhelm you with questions, but save yourself some trouble, finish the book, and our questions will be answered.
I'm really looking forward to the book.

It was a standard keyhead with the "Gumby head" cut off.
The serial number represents the 9th guitar built with 10 string necks. RKS are my initials, I was the first owner. This may be in my book now that I know where it is. Value should be around a grand.
Email me if you need more questions answered.

I feel just fine chris! I've been exposed to information about a subject I'm very curious about. This guitar has several features that don't conform to other ShoBuds of that era. Here's a pic of the underside of my Permanent. Note the similarities and the differences.

And,,, You "love it when people , in their all-knowing wisdom, state something that is soon proven to be wrong. how do you guys feel after you've been exposed?"
Hmmmmm,,,,,,,,,

Bobby, I have to believe that the point Chris was making has to do with the choice of verbiage and the delivery.Bobby Burns wrote:Chris, if the guys with the wisdom kept thier opinions to themselves because they were afraid of being wrong, the rest of us would never learn anything.
Even on things about which I'm pretty sure, I know I try to temper it so doesn't sound like an absolute declaration, because if by some chance I happen to be wrong, it makes me look even more wrong than if I'd written something along the lines of "it appears to me that the guitar is not..." as opposed to writing something much more vehement that leaves no room for doubt.
