It is Buddie in the 1964 brochure, and it is Buddie in the photo of hi sitting behind the mid 1965 blonde lacquer Wraparound. But I have also seen it as Buddy with that mid 1965 guitar as well.

Nope! Bobby is a guy's nickname. Bobbie is a girls nickname. At least that's the way it was where/when I grew up. |

| Ernie Renn can correct me if I have faulty memory on this, but I believe Buddy at one time changed the spelling to Buddie so that there would be 6 letters in his first and last names. I forget the reason why. |

So he could count them on one hand.
No, wait. That was Hound Dog Taylor.
Disregard this post.

You're right, Dickie. He said it was an adolescent idea that both were 6 letters.

| So maybe it was Emons and he added an m so it would be cool. Way cool, you could call the kids Themmons. |
