Looking for 1963 Sho-Bud built for Gerald Merhar

Post by Bobby Austin »

Gerald Merhar would like to find his old 1963 Sho-Bud Permanent. It had 9 foots and 4 knees, it was Sunburst in color, was black on both ends and had a cat inlaid in the front. If it can be found and it is for sale he would like to buy it back.

Bobby I don't know where his guitar is but I haven't seen Merhar since the late '70's. I wondered what ever happened to him. Tell him the "Jersey guys" (Gene & Ben) would like to see him again. He came to a club I was playing at in Indy and took over my steel for a set or two.
We used to jam in Gene's garage in NJ way back then.

I'll tell him you asked about him. He is trucking over the road so I only see him about once a week but I talk to him on the phone two or three times a week.
