Remembering James Morehead

Two years ago today, I lost my psg teacher, mentor, band mate, and dear friend. I miss the sometimes lengthy conversations about Sho~Buds, attention to detail, families, ferrule hogs, and even faith...sometimes over a cold drink, but often over the telephone.

I was just reviewing very fondly old email chains with James - he must have typed 10,000 words 9 years ago to help me tear down and rebuild my Bud. What a generous, kind person. Wish I could have :eat him in person.

James was not selfish. I had the pleasure of building
him several cabinets over the years and we became friends
so whenever I had problems with one of my guitars he would email or call me to make sure I had the problem fixed.
He was a salt of the earth kinda guy.

James doing what he loved doing! He was creating knee lever parts for my Pro I. I knew he didn't feel well, but he insisted on getting it done. I miss his wealth of mechanical knowledge and his wit!

James was one of the good guys!!!

So much knowledge, so much wit and so many funny sayings and phrases. I miss emailing him. I miss talking to him on the phone. I miss talking to him in person.

I still remember when I first met him & I still remember the last time that I saw him.

Cancer sure is a giant piece of crap.

James was my teacher as well! Thanks for posting this Eddie. I miss driving out to Prague and drinking Hazlenut coffee with James! Hope Tree is doing well.

I was asked today about a D-8 Sho-Bud that I sold to James maybe 3 or so yrs. ago. He had just gotten over being sick for chemo and was ready to take on a project. I sent him the guitar and another one like it that I got from Randy Reinhard that had been in the weather for 15-20 yrs. He called and told me he had received the guitars and thanked me for the deal and I never heard from him again. Today a man called to see if I still had the guitar. He wanted to buy it, so if anyone knows the story, please let me know how the story ends.

Of course the story Ended when James finally passed August 28th, 2016.
But I may know of some added editions; so email me some details please.
