Here are some photos of a guitar that I am restoring now. It is a S-10 perm seems to have a very nice cabinet.
I will do more photos when it's finished.

Did you refinish it or was it just that beautiful when you got it?

The guitar in the photo is the one that I am restoring. The finish was in bad shape so I had it refinished, and the logo and card shapes were inlayed. I plan to clean up the original undercarriage and put it back as original as I can. The pedals were relocated, but I will put them back to original locations and plug the extra holes.
The front and ends are made of black ebony wood. |

That is a beautiful looking cabinet right there.
When you say ebony, Bob, is that a veneer? |

| Maybe I'm being sacrilegious, but it's such a cool gtr...have you considered putting a modern changer/undercarriage on it? |

No. Pull-release has TONE. Make it do the modern changes, sure, but keep the changer.
If you want an all-pull Bud, they're legion.

| skip...i hear ya! that could make an ultra cool hot rod with a real mechanism. i would imagine it could still sound great. it's already been refinished. imagine what show pro might do to it mechanically. |

The cabinet is made of all solid woods 3/4 thick, it looks way better than the photos show. The only veneer is the inlay's, except for the logo which is MOP. |

I am sure that would play better, but this is a special built guitar played by Shot Jackson, the only other one close to it was a 16 string made for Buddy Charlton. These two guitars were built by David Jackson about the same time, I'm not sure that I want to change it very much.

Wow. It is hard to get ebony these days in pieces like that. I rob old pianos of their black keys for it and can only use it for little things of course |

what a beauty.... you are doing a great job my friend... no modern crap on it, just put it back as original as possible, if anyone wants a modern mechanism they can go buy a new guitar, plenty of those out there

Wow Bob. This is a stunner! Where do you find these guitars?
Call James and tell him about it! He and I have talked about never seeing an S-10 Perm. He'd enjoy talking to you!
I'm very jealous!

Yeah, I think you guys are right about keeping it original. I like the symmetrical gumbys.
Really cool... |

Ducktail changer! My favorite. Kind of mirrors the gumby keyhead, to suggest an S, for Shobud!

I saw Shot play that guitar on the Opry when I was a kid.

Wish I could have seen that, It would be nice to know where some of these old guitars have been. |

Please. There isn't another steel guitar anywhere that sounds as good as a good Perm.
