I talked to Duane on the phone last week.........what a great conversation. A really nice guy. Him and Jeff are very excited about this new guitar. I had a few questions about the Show-Pro and he told me all about what was happening.....I think this guitar is going to be very successful.

Lloyd Green doesn't play garbage. These are guitars are monster for tone and playabilty, and looks.

I looked but couldn't find the prices for the new Show-Pro . What a beautiful guitar ! G.P.

Gosh, somebody should warn Lloyd about colorblindness! Looks blue fade-away, not Green! Guess he likes the sound so much it didn't matter.

I wonder if Duane has plans to build
S-12U guitars?

Lloyd Green doesn't play garbage.

Nor would he change marques lightly, I imagine.

Makes me feel even better about the LDG I always wanted and finally got.

PS: I don't think he'll let his go lightly, either.

All I know is a few months ago at the HOF ceremony he brought THE Sho-Bud LDG. My guess is no endorsement or new guitar is going to replace that

...I believe Lloyd's Sho~Bud is mostly Sho-Pro now...Jeff and Duane can make a Bud work much better than new.

looks like a nice guitar but than again I always loved Sho~Bud so no wonder I like this,it is pretty darn close.
I personaly play what I like and I have to try guitar before I`ll buy it .If tone and playability are there I don`t bother with a name on the guitar or what famous player endorses it.

Good point....I had forgotten that I saw they had helped refurbish it.

I am eager to hear the pricing on the Sho-Pro's....they look beautiful.

The defense rests!

Nice!!!

Steve Hinson · Post by **Steve Hinson** » 15 May 2006 4:54 pm

Well,I just got an e-mail stating that Lloyd Green's Sho~Bud is in fact still almost all Sho~Bud...I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous posts regarding this subject.

Dear Mr. Cann, No defense needed. It was at that HOF celebration where Dot Green helped us with the color scheme we would use on the New Lloyd Green model, before it was finished by AJ Nelson. It was most fitting that he have the Sho-Bud there. After all it was the first LDG built that Duane had a hand in too. Thanks, Jeff

Skip Edwards · Post by **Skip Edwards** » 15 May 2006 5:36 pm

Does anyone know what the scale length is on the Sho-Pros?
I know that Lloyd's famous Bud has a longer than 24" scale... 24 1/4 maybe?...and I'm wondering what the standard scale for these gtrs is, and if Lloyd's is longer?

Joe Alterio · Post by **Joe Alterio** » 16 May 2006 4:19 am

From the just-launched Jackson Steel Guitars website, a quote from Lloyd:

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>...(the) new Jackson Steel has in my view the finest sound I have heard since the great era of Sho-Bud, circa 1967-1980.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Now that he has a Jackson (I presume) and a Marrs, he doesn't need that old LDG anymore....so I'll just be the first to ask to take it off his hands.

Lloyd does not own a Jackson or a Marrs guitar, however, Duane,Harry and David are very close friends and certainly the quote is accurate. The Show Pro was not available at the time he played the Jackson. The LDG is not available at any price, as far as I know. Thanks for your comment Joe.

Skip, since all of ours are custom builds we can make either scale desired. Standard scale is 24 1/4'' for us. The 24'' may have a different fretboard though. I haven't had a 24'' printed and hope not to because of the additional cost. There are other fretboards available. The new fretboard was installed on Lloyd's last week. The pattern is a snowflake design, like the inlay work on a banjo. It comes in a choice of colors, red, black and white or just black and white. Also, we have extra frets and they
can be cut to any length. The extra frets are good for chiming.Jeff

Sorry, Duane...I meant Sho Pro, not Marrs.

Donny Hinson · Post by **Donny Hinson** » 17 May 2006 8:38 am

So...we know Lloyd still likes his old 'Bud! But he also likes the Show~Pro? But he also likes the new Jackson? Maybe the myth about what's the "best guitar" (and if there is one at all) has finally been buried?

Thank Heavens!

I'd like to see,and test drive a D-10 Show~Pro.Is Duane Marrs the builder? It looks like a Sho~Bud,but a deluxe model,with all the modern technology applied.

Damir Besic · Post by **Damir Besic** » 18 May 2006 10:15 am

Sho Pro looks great,so does Jackson,so does Carter and MSA and Franklin and .....oh ..so many guitars and so little cash
