Sho-Bud PRo III - For Sale

Post by Matthew Eilerman »

Hi All,
Unfortunately I have to sell my double neck Sho-Bud Pro III Steel, and soon my Amps and most of my Study Course Collection (Lots). But for Now I’m starting with the Pro III. It is a D-10, 8 Pedal, 4 Knee lever model with George “L” Pickups and Hard Case. I’m asking $3,000. Plus shipping. Can deliver if "close" or during my upcoming trip through Washington, Oregon and Northern California.
Hope Pics are OK, I tried to reduce size without removing too much quality.
Thanks for looking, Matthew I also have more images

I generally refrain from gushing over other’s ads, but this guitar hits all my soft spots. Wow...

My first steel was a Pro III with a two up/two down changer. It was in half as good shape as this and it sounded amazing. I’d recommend that anyone who has ever considered getting a classic Sho-Bud D-10 to scoop this one up. I sure would if I could!!!

So sad you have to sell this beauty.

Remember that because of it's weight.
By the time you get it boxed and shipped in the US, you are probably looking at $300 +- for Shipping/insurance.

Just in case you did not know.
AUTHORIZED George L's, Goodrich, Telonics and Peavey Dealer: I have 2 steels and several amps. My current rig of choice is 1993 Emmons LeGrande w/ 108 pups (Jack Strayhorn built for me), Goodrich OMNI Volume Pedal, George L's cables, Goodrich Baby Bloomer and Peavey Nashville 112. Can't get much sweeter.

Mathew I’ve been looking for pedal steels in Montana and this is the closest around me plus it’s such a beauty Sho-Bud. Where-ish in Washington? I’m in Missoula myself.

I don't want to hijack your thread, but I shipped an SD10 LeGrande from Texas to Nashville a couple of months ago and it was 105.00 with my packaging.

I dunno, I’ve been looking but not finding anything in the Pacific Northwest states/provinces , except for this, and it’s even Sho~Bud. Mathew if you’re in eastern Washington then western Montana is in your neighborhood. I’m nervous about buying such a beautiful instrument shipped across the continent no matter what that shipping cost is.

As Ricky said, this guitar is ALL classic Bud, with some of the best parts they ever used, unlike the "improved" models that came a bit later... This is a great guitar, basically at teardrop lever,two hole puller 2 up 2 down Pro II with , round cross shafts cut down pedals, and then aluminum necks added to make it a Pro III... I had one equipped just like it years ago, and it was a VERY good guitar, and at the time, I didn't realize it was a rare transition model.. So sorry you must sell her. bob
I'm over the hill and hittin'rocks on the way down!

Did you buy this guitar from John Graham? I sold him a Pro 111 and man does this look like it. Did you sell it?
