Any body know if there are many LLOYD GREENS with an ally neck on as i have just bought a real nice one.At first i thought it was a super pro with the back neck removed but there is no sign of there ever being another neck on the guitar.Thanks for any help.GOD BLESS JIM.

I had one for a few years - my first professional calibre guitar. I traded it to Al Brisco in about '82 because I wanted a D-10. It was a beautiful birds-eye maple and probably the prettiest guitar I ever owned. In terms of LDG's, I came to prefer the sound of the ones with wooden necks. I've always wondered who wound up with that guitar though.....sure would look nice in the cormer of my office!

......and I read this thread thinking Lloyd Green had gotten a whiplash in an alley (ally)!

Mike, better than Ally McBeal with a green neck.

HI BASIL,Its jim fredrick.

Jim,
I used to have a red LDG with wooden neck. The player who bought it off me put an ally neck on it. I thought all LDG's had wood necks.

Some sort of bowling-related mishap?

I think some of these old Sho-Buds must be hybrids. There are Pro IIIs also advertised for sale with wood necks. I think the aluminum neck on the Pro III is what sets it apart from the Pro II. As far as I know, the Lloyd Green always came from Sho-Bud with wood necks, anything different would have to be a retrofit. If I'm wrong, my wife always lets me know!
Uff-Da!

Aside from the necks, the Pro III came with 4 knees standard, while the Pro II came with two.

I personally like to call the ShoBud the Fender Stratocaster of PSGs in a sense that it is relatively easy to service them and change parts if you wish to do so. It is not uncommon for Strat or Tele owners who are not particularly conscious about originality to swap maple necks for rosewood and vice versa, for instance. Same goes for Buds, I once saw a picture of one with wooden necks that said Pro III on it. The LDG mentioned above may be just the opposite. It is also true that Pro II´s came standard with just two knee levers, but look at how many are around these days with four. I heard they were also willing to take custom orders at the ShoBud factory. Unfortunately, it is much more difficult to track down the history of ShoBud pedal steels than Fender standard guitars.
