| Hey damir! I have always read that he used to spell it buddie so that his first and last names had the same amount of ltters, he thought it was cool. I believe he went back to "buddy" shortly after this guitar was made...according to what I've read on the forum. |

Just for the record, I first married when I was 17 years old, which required my mother to find my birth certificate in Mishawaka, Indiana and send to me. After weeks of waiting, my mother called and told me the holdup was due to my name being entered erroneously at birth. It wasn’t Bud or Buddy Gene. I was born Betty Jean Emmons. Had I used that name, I'd probably have been classified as a pretty good steel guitar player for a girl. Kinda wish I had now that I think about it. Anyway, I've had several people not believe Buddy is my real name. maybe I should have changed it to Horace.
The spelling Buddie was used as a teenager so I would have six letters in the first and last name. Talk about insecurity. |

Why? You can't get better information than straight from the horse's mouth.  |

It takes a lot of paying attention, Chris. First we were talking about Buddy/Buddie Emmons. Then there was a quote from Buddy Emmons about his birth certificate reading Betty. So far so good.
But then somebody brought Betty Emmonds into it and that's where I got lost..... |
