Awesome. I guess it's a bit later than 1965, the rollers in the keyhead seem to be large. I think that the earlier ones used string ends as rollers.

Congrats on a real nice steel. I dig the maple and rosewood and that inlay is real neat! Is she all original? How many Knees?

| I imagine you could order knees but as far as I know Fingertips came stock with no knees at all and some came stock with one. Some of you guys know more than I do though, maybe someone might chime in... |

Hi Silas,
Ricky Davis can provide you with a lot of information on Fingertips, as well as other types of Sho-Buds.
By the way, I'm friends with your aunt Amy Wheeler in Hickory. She was showing me a video of you playing an Emmons last Friday evening. I just now connected the dots! Looking forward to meeting you.
Congratulations on your find. I'd love to take a look at your new guitar!
Mike Robbins

Howdy Silas,
Do I remember correctly that you've had another Sho-Bud? Your profile says a Pro I? Curious what you like about the Fingertip?

Jeffrey, Silas is a very good friend of mine and he let me buy it from him. All I can say is that it is killer, stays in tune, and the tapped pickup is to die for.

Liam, thanks. Silas is a heck of a player, for sure. Maybe you know, then - curious about the differences between Sho Buds? What makes the Fingertip different from a Pro I? What does he like about his new one? What do you like about your new one  .

Mechanically they're both all pull changers! Just different styles, his uses something called two hole pullers with barrels to tune the raises/lowers. Mine uses different bell cranks and it uses your fingers to tune it. I like mine because of the sound and vibe I get from old Sho~Buds. There is just something about it.
