Those 9 string "gumby" keyheads were manufactured on some early ShoBuds. I recommend a search, as this topic has been discussed on a few threads. They're very informative and there are several pics of them.
That's a unique looking Permanent for sale...

| Abdo-Lutely legit! And a beauty! Super-Gumby key heads and Ducktail changer housings,. Probably older than '59 though, but maybe. I don't know when they stopped that key head and changer style, coulda been some time in '59 though. I wonder which string is missing, first or second? Things were changing quickly at that time. Coop told me the D-10 I had was a '59, no giant Gumbies or Ducktails. |

Any other thoughts on this steel? Is it actually "worth" $2700?
If it's an early guitar, it must be of some historical value.
Is anyone close to the music store where it is being sold from?

GA,
That's called a "ducktail" changer. But,, in my opinion only, the ducktail and the super gumby key head form an elongated S shape, for Shobud. |
