New Show Pro D-10

Post by Jeff Triplett »

Just wanted to share the awesome D-10 that Jeff and the folks at Show Pro built for me. It's 8x5 with the PF change on the vertical knee. The finish is a red to an orange burst although it looks more blonde in this photo because of the lighting. It plays and sounds phenomenal.

Can't thank Jeff Surratt enough for the effort he put into building this guitar.

That guitar above is just gorgeous. I am lucky to own two D10 Show Pros. They look incredible with tone to match. The Lawrence 710 pickup just sounds as though it was made for the Show Pro guitar. Such a big sound.

Jeff builds a real custom shop guitar for each owner. His attention to detail is second to none. It helps that Jeff is a player, as he knows what constitutes great tone. He is a lovely guy to deal with too.

They sound just as great if not better than they look too. Love Jeff's dedication to the medium and his vast knowledge of steel guitar manufacturing. Some of the biggest records have Show Pro guitars on them and for good reason. Congrats on a beautiful ax!

Awesome finish and I bet it plays as good as it looks.
