I've wondered why Sho-Bud would designate a model as 1, as in Pro-1 before there is a Pro-2? Like naming your kid Sr. before there is a Jr.

They came out at the same time.
The ProI had one neck and the ProII had two.
Made perfect sense for a year or two, until they came out with a model that had aluminum necks and called it a ProIII. |

Maybe it has something to do with the serial numbers.

Skip is right. Pro1 is a single neck, and Pro2 is a double neck, then in the same catalog, was the LDG, and maverick. And I don't remember if the Pro3 was in that same catalog or not. Thinking back many years.

I am pretty sure they made a "Professional" double neck. The Pro 1 was a single 10 and the pro 2 was a double 10, and I think the Pro 111 was a double with aluminum necks. Course my memory aint what it used to be either. Martin.

| My first Shobud, bought in 1972, from Ralph Henzil, at West Allis Music, outside Milwaukee was a D-10. Labeled just "Pro." |

I beleive ' The Proffessional' was first, early 70's, cant swear by it either, but i thought i saw Barbara Mandrell playing a Proffesional before the pro series came by  |
