John Billings, No number on your guitar is right. Many early Sho-Buds have no serial number. Even after Sho-Buds did get numbers, they didn't really mean much.
I have always loved the wood in your guitar.
Nice to see you are keeping it in great condition.
I have a 60 Sho-Bud that I play all over Nashville now that is nowhere near that nice, but there is something about it that I truly love.
Let me know when you need your money back for the one you have!

Mr Seymour!! I will have you that there is nothing bland about the name Kenneth. A very old English name with a lot of heritage.BobbeSeymour wrote:Jussi, the name is Kenneth, kinda bland you may think at first, until you realize that I'm named after and related to that great english sea warrior of the forteenth century, "Kenneth the Great"! (or was it Rodney the great, or Brucie? I can't remember,,,,,
Actually Kenneth means handsome. (Honestly) That lets me out then.

Isn't it amazing how we become jaded in our ares of expertise. This is not my area of knowledge, but I too have become Jaded.
This thread reminded me once again how important it is to look at everything through fresh eyes.
I research the history of, and collect American Sporting Collectibles. I have done this for 23 years. I became sooo damn smart I never even carried my reference books with me. Why should I, after all I am considered an expert. I'll just rely on the knowledge I have stored in my head
Last year I had the opportunity to buy a very rare item. After examining it I determined it was a very good example of someone trying to copy a Victor Glodo duck call(circa 1860). It was offered to me for $1500. As I considered this "an unknown", I passed.
I was wrong... the call was right... it just sold for $14,500
I am not quite as smart anymore!
Bobby Burns made a great observation in this post.

Leave it to Bobbe! He built that one knowing he'd fool somebody with it someday. (It sure fooled me!) I didn't remember seeing a permanent with no "shark fine, or with rounded corners on the endplates, or with no adjustments on the pillow blocks. Then I looked at some old pictures of Buddy, and one of his permanents also had rounded corners.

Lee Jefferies, Mr. Garrett's Sho-Bud was one of the very first D-10s. Birdseye, red pickups, with his name on the front written like his signature, but the guitar was built much larger than other following ten string Sho-Buds. It was built the size of a present day 11 or 12 string D-10.
I remember how proud he was of that guitar, he even carried pictures of it around to show everybody all the time. I still have the one he gave me of it before I saw it in person.
I miss Bobby greatley, he was another wonderful friend I have lost in this biz. But I'm sure there are many of you in this boat,,,,,,,,,
Your friend,
Bobbe Seymour

Mine was the first, and Buddy had at least one guitar like this, and I'm sure a couple of other players asked Shot to do this little mod, but most folks loved it and had to have it.
John, I'm having David and Harry Jackson build me a '63 Madison model the exact coloring as yours.
Birdseye body with black necks, should be great!

Bobbe, I hope you'll send me. or post here, some pics when it's done. The reason I was curious as to how many guitars you guys made with the truncated keyhead was, well, there have been threads in the past asking "Is this a ---?" Although everything on some of these guitars just screamed ShoBud, the keyheads were always the deciding factor in saying "NO!"
I gotta make a trip down to visit my old buddy JL Myers, audio engineer, and oldest friend. The last time I got to visit you was when you were in Goodletsville. I showed you my Kline. Your comment was something like, "Joe has taken this archaic system, and made it a work of art." BWAAAA!

Just a quick question
If this is a permanent does that imply that a temporary was also made?
