Comparison of Sho-Bud Pro III to other Sho-Buds

[Craig A Davidson]

All I know is that Pro2 Custom I just got that belonged to Lloyd Maines has got tone. So that must be the generation you speak of Ricky.

as soon as they got rid of the pin you hook the string on the finger;

In an effort to follow the mechanical discussion is this what is meant by "finger?"

Hi Jim
I've had two pro III's, both pot metal with all the aforementioned problems. My first one was an absolutely superb guitar and had a sound to match and like any Bud, once you get to know them, they're wonderful beasts and each has it's own character.
The second one I had was a bit of a dog. Broke strings all over the place and couldn't hold a candle soundwise or mechanically to my first one. They looked almost identical, but were like chalk and cheese.
I now have a Super-Pro and it is absolute magic. It looks so cool, plays like butter, sounds like a Bud should do, stays in tune, doesn't break strings and because I know Buds pretty well inside out as a result of previous guitars, I can isolate and sort any problems out that may occur (which they haven't on the Super-Pro)
I would say with all Sho-Buds, treat each one individually, as a one off, because they are all different. One will just seem so right, whilst another just somehow doesn't.
You've just got to love a 'Bud
Best of luck in your search

. I just bought a Super Pro S10 and I'm glad to hear that I made a good choice.
