Buddy Emmons's 1962 Sho-Bud: Permanent or "Fingertip?"

Post by robert kramer »

Looking for information on Buddy Emmons's Sho-Bud on the Ray Price September 25, 1962 "Pet Milk Grand Ole Opry," one month before "Twang A Country Song" was cut.)

Thanks again for any information and thanks to everybody here for sharing their knowledge. Very Impressive crew.

Is this a Sho-Bud Permanent on the "Pet Milk Grand Ole Opry" September 25, 1962?

Also, is this the same guitar?

Kelcey, Thanks for your response. Very helpful. One more question. Do both guitars look like they're the same guitar?

If they aren't the same guitar, is the second one a Fingertip?

Thanks very much, Hope all is well.

I have seen those clips countless times and seen that pic, but I never put it together. Ha. Sure looks like the same guitar to me? Regardless, the second pic is a Permanent. The fingertips have a bit more space between the bridge/changer and the endplate. The thumbscrew tuners on fingertips are mounted into the endplate (not sure how else to describe, see pic).
