Super Beautiful Super Pro Sho-bud **SOLD** Please Close

Post by billy tam »

Sadly I must part with the most beautiful guitar I've ever owned, a totally restored(ground up) Super Pro. 8 pedals 8 knees 95% or better cosmetically and mechanically. Got to make room for a new(to me) guitar.

Yes Ricky that was Darvin's guitar, it is like a brand new Super Pro and is the most beautiful guitar I've ever owned. However I have had 2 Super Pro's, 3 Pro 111's and 2 Professionals and want to try something I have never had.
Thanks,
Billy

Thanks for clarification Billy. Well it shouldn't last long as this is about as mint as it gets.

Just looking at it makes me weak in the knees. Good thing my Credit Card is near maxed out. I know it was a basket case when Darvin got it. Super job to you Darvin.

That guitar plays and sounds as good as it looks. I would never have sold it if I was still playing much, but I had to downsize, I had way too much stuff.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

The body was refinished and re-inlayed by Mark Giles, the best in the business. It was originally green that had faded to a yucky brownish color.

Post by billy tam »

If someone doesn't make me a reasonable offer on this beauty pretty soon all the positive comments will make me keep it. I don't know if that will insure my "domestic tranquility" if you know what I mean. Thanks for all the comments guys, this is a lot of guitar for a very reasonable price.
Thanks,
Billy

Billy check your PM and Email. I'll be in Baton Rouge this weekend with my Son for his football camp at LSU. If you're around I'd like to purchase this from you. I sold a similar color LDG that Bobbe Seymour built for me several years ago to Daniel Cormier and kick myself often for letting that one go.
