Everything else having been said, it might remain only to add that it's still the best damned good lookin' steel ever produced. What other can claim such native funk, flash, and eclat, I ask you!

Would that be a chocolate eclat you be talking 'bout?

I Have Four steels But My Sho=Bud LDG Is Still the King. SONNY.

I haven't gigged in quite awhile, but I don't cheat on my LDG girl friend. It goes where I go.

I've just landed after nine days touring Ireland with my Super-Pro and she performed faultlessly.

My Super Pro is my first guitar. I've had it almost a year. The transition from a Cherokee pull/release was a little rocky, but now it's working out just fine. What a great guitar.

You mean there are other brands beside Sho~Bud???

Posted: **4 Apr 2009 6:55 am**

Yeah. Some guy named Emmons made a great guitar about the same time Sho-Bud was cranking out fingertips, Professionals and Pro IIs. The black ones sound the best...

Gotta go!

I started on a Sho-Bud Pro I in 1972. In '78 I bought a Pro II Custom. Been playing it steady ever since. Yeah, I've had to do some repairs, but it's still my baby.

Seems that I remember hearing of him. I believe he also played steel a bit, didn't he?
