Sho-Bud built hundreds of permanent (single finger, pull release) guitars from 1957 through the early 70s. Where are they, do you have one? Show us a photo.

| I figured there were a lot more than 100. I always love to see pictures of them too. |

Darn auto correct. I wrote 100s, hundreds.

Johnny, did you ever restore the one that you had? I am still working on some, most you have seen by now.

Johnny, was is that you were playing on Facebook, a perm or a fingertip? Tone is out of this world and of course your playing too.

I've had this for a few years. Bought it as a project. It's a 1959 that started as a D-8 and was converted to a D-10 at the ShoBud factory in '64 with fingertip bellcranks, pull rods etc. It still has the single fingers. Hopefully I'll get the time to finish it up and get it ready to play.

There's one in Topeka and it's for sale, as the owner didn't want to throw parts at it, and it could use a lot of parts. I currently have it on my bench, but it's proving difficult for me.
I'm trying to find the pictures of it.

Yup! 
It is purty. The seller had it refinished by someone that worked for shobud years ago...

Bob, I have it apart and the cabinet is refinished. I currently don't have a place to work so my project is stalled. As soon as I get even a small room I'll get it back together. It's my favorite sounding guitar.

This guitar still needs a lot of work, older model with no back skirt. Hope to get to it someday soon.

Here's one I found hidden away in the corner of a small junk store just south of Nashville. The strings were pretty grungy but it was all original and had the original case; I've been told it is probably a '65-ish. I think the serial number is 3033 (the second number is partially obscured by a screw head so a little hard to decipher).
It really needs to be torn down and cleaned thoroughly. The cabinet is is remarkably good shape and, while I haven't had much chance to noodle around on it, this thing seems like it's a tone monster in waiting. I wish I knew the back story to it -- how many busses it's been under, stages it's been on, and studios it's been in...if this thing could talk! I took it on as a bit of a project just haven't had the time and, frankly, flipping it over intimidates me a bit. I just need to work up the courage to start taking it apart and hope I don't end up with leftover parts.

Rick, can you post a better photo of the changer, and the underside? In this photo it almost looks like a Fingertip.
This is the fingertip changer. It's hard to tell from your photo.

Rick, Looks like a later model perm with a Fingertip style under carriage. This is a good thing because you can change the setup more like a later model guitar.
Here is a Perm that has the E9 neck with the Fingertip style under carriage, and the older welded style on the C6 side.
