Didn't Jimmy Days' custom built guitars have "Blue Darlin" inscribed on the front Right side, or was that just in later years ?  |

I would be VERY wary of this auction. The seller can't eve spell, yet he owns an ex Jimmy Day guitar ?
Not plausible.

I checked the eBay link. In answer to an enquiry the guy says he got it from Nashville, Tn. and quotes http://www.steelguitar.net . That should'nt be too hard to check out? Any comment from Bobbe?
Regards, Tony.
PS it's hard to be sure due to his spelling and missed words, but it seems he bought it in 2000. |

The question I have about this guitar is. Did any of the other guitars made by Sho-Bud for any other famous steel players have it stenciled with metal stencils on the underside. Example, see below.
Custom Made For
John Doe

I think it's the real deal. I saw Jimmy in 1973 playing a guitar that looked like this one. There have been modifications, however: the Lawrence pickups, Grover tuners, and the narrow pedals. But everything else on the guitar looks pretty standard 1964 Sho-Bud to me, like the Hooper case, and the pull-release changer.

About that Jimmy Day PSG, I exchanged some e-mail with the fellow selling it.
Too much money for me for an item that is not up-to-date and just a collectable thing of interest.
What I told him was that there is an article in those re-issued Fretts by Paul Graupp. It is the "Night & Day" and he makes mention of Jimmy's new blue Sho-Bud and the old Fender being retired.
That article is dated 1965 and this guitar is claimed to be from 1964...
He asked if I thought he was asking too much?, I responded that I am not qualified to judge that. But it is too much for me.
Anyway, I want to get an older Fender 1000 for fun. |

Basil, please check out this thread. Maybe you could test this amp out and see if it might work for us.
