Sho Bud Permanent

Just a note,, different year Perms have different size fingers, the first ones (57-59) had very small fingers, the later ones had larger radiis units.
Axel sizes were also different, of course.

There were no bad ones, just different ones.

I'm glad David Jackson is building these great guitars again. (The Madison '63) I own one and have seen others,

Can't help link a few cool reads about these wonderful guitars from the early Shobud years:

I've had this one for years, I believe it's a -63.

Jussi, What a sweet guitar! Is that diamond inlay or hour-glass inlay?

James, I don't know; "whatchamacallit"

but I've never seen a similar inlay on any other Bud. Also, the front apron is solid ebony, which I believe is pretty rare too?
