Show Pro Lloyd Green II

Post by David Nugent »

Show Pro 'Lloyd Green II model, four pedals, five knees, Emmons set up. Jeff built this guitar for display at the Dallas show a while back and nicknamed it, "Grape Jelly" which is a fair description of the deep plum color lacquer. Pickup is a 'Steeltronics' which really brings forth that classic Sho-Bud like tone,(came equipped with a BL 705 but could not dial in a tone that I liked). Guitar is in flawless condition with minimal playing time and never outside my home. Without a doubt, the absolutely most stunning guitar that I have ever owned...$3950.00 plus 1/2 shipping costs....Thank you for reading.

FYI: Pedal rods are 1/2" shorter which accounts for the pedal height, a new set of standard length rods is being shipped from Show Pro.

That’s just plumb pretty!

Why no pad on the rear?
Steeless.

Thanks to all for the compliments, truly is a playable work of art!

Daniel..Thank you for the nice comment, always a pleasure dealing with you.

Ken..Jeff explained to me that due to the custom finish and the beauty of the wood grain, he chose not to install a pad on this guitar. Also, as shown in the photo, the presence of the control panel for splitting the pickup coils.

Mike and/or others, FYI I could modify/rewind/etc that pickup to have an additional tap if desired. The Z is designed to be repairable, no epoxy or other irreversible construction steps are used.

Awesome purple BTW!

Neglected to mention previously; the wood used to build the cabinet is centuries old and was available from Show Pro as a $100.00 upgrade.
