They're all sold now. After everybody had their fill of the black Emmons, and the Buds became chic and trendy again-there aren't any left.
Maybe the new Jackson steel will take on the persona of a "kit car" like the modern Shelby Cobra, as a Bud replacement.
I know, I know...you can find a couple of Sho-Buds in the "instruments for sale section."

You won't believe this BUT, I do have three Sho-Buds that are not on the site, All are unbelieveble,
Number one:
A brand new, untouched Sho-Bud Lloyd Green model, with un-filled out warrantee papers, all the set up papers, only been out of the case for an hour, once. This guitar is not only just new, but is the best quality workmanship I have ever seen on ANY Sho-Bud,anywhere. I was thinking about just putting it in the Sho-Bud Museum, it's way to nice to ever play,I'd say it is the most perfect original one in existence.
Number Two:
A very very nice near original 8 ped, 4 knee 1962 rosewood and birdseye Madison built perminant D-10. Plays and sounds better than most I've heard, remember Hal on the Tammy and Loretta cuts? Buddy Charlton and Lloyd on the first Paycheck stuff? This is the type Sho-Bud that did all this work, and everything else from '59 to '65. As Ricky would say, A TRUE Sho-Bud,
Number three:
An incredible total restoration by my company on a S-10, '75 LDG (Lloyd Green), with Gold Grover Imperial Keys, "Jimmy Day Blue Birdseye" highly figured. A new custom built "Blue" custom Geo. L. matching pickup (humbucker W/ SS blades). A new black factory pad.
This guitar is a very beautiful show guitar that is built to be used and as a tastful "show off" guitar.
Number four:
The most sought after and most desireable of any Sho-Bud ever built, one of the seven "SP II" guitars, tobacco birdseye, extremely highly figured. Excellent original. By far the ultimate of all Sho-Buds.
Finned castings, roller changer cam fingers, glow in the dark fretboards, (all factory), All machined aluminum undercarrage.
Sorry, I don't have any Mavericks,

I'd put pictures of these guitars up here but I don't want to hurt Jay Ganz's feelings.
To put these guitars on the forum would be prostituting there souls.
Whew, did I really say this?[This message was edited by BobbeSeymour on 03 November 2005 at 07:00 PM.] |

Yep, the "Sally Starr" TV show in Philadelphia PA., (1921) , WFIL-TV. |

Actually, Bobbe, if you were doing tv back then, you're darn well-preserved. Personally, I didn't even know they had tv in 1921. I must be just toooo young.

Where did you get that picture of The Fonz from Happy Days playing pedal steel? |

Oh yes Steve, they had TV in 1921, but it wasn't electrical, it was mechanical, you had to turn a crank. Later that year someone invented "Gerbil" power, somewhat like squirrel power on a treadmill but more dependable.
This picture was taken when I was in the eighth grade, seven of the best years of my life.
The hair was mine, as was the girl in the cowboy suit, lost them both in the flood of '39. Her suit rusted pretty badly and my hair cracked when I tried to put a hat on once in '41. |

Bobbe,
it's a shame you only have a few of those cheap Sho-Buds at the moment. What we want is some real professional models: Mavericks.
