“The only Bigsby instrumental I recall recording on the E9th tuning was Flint Hill Special, and it didn't have split pedals. I first split the pedals on a Fender 1000 and then the Bigsby, but don't remember recording with them until Ernest Tubb's Half A Mind, which was in 1957 and the guitar was a Sho-Bud.†|
In looking at old Bigsbys with plunger type changers (which I think Buddy's was), it would seem very difficult to split pedals in the modern sense. Each pedal could affect only one pair of B and G# strings. Of course, cables would be different.... was Buddy's Bigsby converted? |
Buddy's Bigsby did not have the plunger changers but the regular bridge changer fingers. This is Jimmy Day playing Buddy's Bigsby and you can clearly see the changer and even the fingers moving when pressing the pedals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcTHj3pElgo
What I'm wondering is what the heck was that cut out on the end plate of that guitar???

bOb - You are correct. "The Walkin' The Floor" cut I posted is the later more often heard Charleton version. "The Next Voice You Hear" is the Emmons / Drake Permanent. The Emmons' version would be on the ET Bear Family Box Set "Yellow Rose of Texas"
The guitar Emmons' is playing on the 1961 Purina Grand Ole Opry is a later D-10 Sho-Bud. Great video!
Hope I'm not sounding like a self-ordained Know It All - I'm just into this stuff. |
Actually that is a double nine string guitar, the same one which is on the ET Midnight Jamboree album cover.

I guess Jan Kurtis didn't get the memo about the blue hats.

For as many times as I've held, looked at the cover, looked at pictures of the cover, etc... I have never noticed that Buddy shirt is sweat soaked. And he seems to be the only one...

"I think that the first one there (Walking The Floor) is a later session, as it's stereo. Might even be Buddy Charleton."
That recording from 1958 is Billy Byrd and Buddy Emmons. Buddy Charleton didn't start until 1962. |

| Sounds like the older recording that was later remastered for pseudo stereo. |
