Question for Austin/Central Texas Pickers

Post by Lee Baucum »

Back in the early/mid-70's I saw a beautiful Sho-Bud at Ray Hennig's Heart Of Texas Music. It was a blonde, double 10 that someone had customized with inlay work on both of the necks. Instead of the usual Sho-Bud position markers, this guitar had abalone markers, very similar to what you would see on a Martin D-45 acoustic guitar.

Do any of you guys know of this guitar's whereabouts and its history? I've often wondered who did the inlay work and who ended up with the guitar.
