Here's a long lost picture I took in March of 1972 upstairs at Sho~Bud on Broadway.
I talked to Ed Naylor in St. Louis years ago and told him I had a picture of this guitar. He told me he ended up owning it, but didn't have it at the time. He was so intent on getting a picture that he gave me several odds & ends Sho~Bud parts if I promised I'd send it to him. I sent him a copy and kept the original. Not the best quality, but you can plainly see the aluminum neck and a unique changer end that looks similar to what would be the keyhead end. Also, M-O-P inlay, and the body contradicts an older post where someone said that there were two Sho~Bud keyless guitars, both based on a Maverick. I did see Hal play the black single neck on the Opry on that trip. I have a pic of that somewhere.

Wow - and there was I thinking keyless heads were a modern invention!

| That is a wild guitar and a wild story! So is the “Big E” inlay for “Emmons” or “Ed” Naylor? |

There's only one "Big E"! Shot told me it was built for Buddy, even though he wasn't connected to Sho~Bud by then.
