The Steel Guitar Forum

Craig, it's a Professional. I have a couple of Fingertips, one is semi-playable and the other is a "basket". I also have a triple-neck Permanent 11-11-16 that has been in the early stages of restoration for a very long time.

There was an earlier post, that I did, on Showing my Emmons again, that evolved into a show the upskirt of this Professional. I removed the rack and barrel and spent a lot of time redesigning and machining an alternative.

LDG: The Once and Future Guitar!

This is my Sweet Professional that has been done over by John Coop. I love it dearly. You can see it tonite at the Yuba City Moose Lodge.

My Pro 1 is the only PSG I've ever owned.

I love 'em. They look good, sound good and as experience has shown, can be brought up to a mechanical level where they are better than they were when new.

My D12

Ok here is my fingertip again. It was custom built for a Canadian player by the name of Ken Near in 1966. According to Al Brisco, Ken taught him a couple licks, and also taught Buddy Cage.

I have a Sho-Bud Pro that I can't find enough hours in the day to play . . Works well with the Walker S.S - Can someone tell me the what the difference between some of these models are? For example Sho-Bud Pro and LDG ?, or Pro 1 and Pro 3? Thanks

My favorite daily players....2 1982 Pro 1's with Coop running gear and BL 710/JW Truetone...Larry

I feel like I waited my whole life for this blonde...12 string...rope binding. I get woozy everytime I look at her.

Pro III. The only steel I have.

Thats awsome jeff, mines a brunette!

Jeff. I love your Sho-Bud , I'm having a Show Pro SD10 built that is going to be very similar to your guitar.

I'm telling you, there's nothing like a sho-bud, its the 'stratavarious'of steels, Boy, that statement shouldn't make anybody mad!
Man... I love hangin out here.

Still got gas huh, Erv?

'84 Pro 1. Short body. Nice and light and toneful (mine got all the GOOD pot metal!) she's sweeet maaate

Richard said that is not his regular guitar.
I would like to see a picture of the other guitar .because the Sho Bud is one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen.
In fact all the Sho Buds are just beautiful.
I had a formica Emmons for about twenty years.
It was all guitar ,but did not ever look nice like a Sho Bud.
I missed out on looks,all that time.
No wonder you don't see them out in public much.
I think I would keep mine at home also,and have a road guitar.

Bent,
Yes, TERMINAL GAS!

Still playing my Sho-Buds, this Professional and my LDG.

Hello

Just got my subscription to the forum !! A great information trading place. Here is my beloved 6140 tone machine.

Does anyone own a ShoBud super pro 11 like the $14,875 one on Bobbe seymors web site ?
I have never seen a more beautiful piece of wood.

Love them Blonde Buds!
Got to admit though, Ol Erv Niehaus sure has a purtty Pro II!!!

Remi! Zut alors! A wood wraparound changer. Probably just a couple of months newer than mine. "67-'68. Mine has polished endplates, a more primitive rack and barrels set up. It now has a white fingerboard.

Larry,
Thank you so much.
I was very fortunate to be able to obtain that Bud.

Remi, Welcome aboard!!!

That sure is a beautiful 6140 you have there.
Good luck to you and enjoy the Forum!

Cheers!
Benton

Still play mine live! Life's too short to let it sit at home
