Gee, and I thought my Blanton was a bit long in the tooth.

I wonder what the underbelly looks like? Probably scary...

Hey Guys At least you want have to worry about any one trying to steal it.

If that had been "aged" or "distressed" or "relic'd" for you by the expert de-restorers at Gibson or Fender, it'd cost at least 1000 smackers more.

That's right Dave. This faux finish is a $900 upgrade... -L-

See what happens to Black guitars!!!!!

This was Rory Gallagher's Sho-Bud.

Now that would be a candidate for a Marrs rebuild if ever I saw one --- looks like it has seen time as a boat anchor !

What are you talking about, that IS a Marrs rebuild!

Bobbe,
Wait till Jeff and Duanne get thru with
you. UH OH

"This was Rory Gallagher's Sho-Bud."

LMAO!!!!!!

...it looks to be a Super Pro ...

Posted: **8 Dec 2005 6:35 pm**

Looks like someone used a paint-scraper on it. Sad, but bet it could be redone to look great.

Posted: **8 Dec 2005 6:45 pm**

Wait till you hear "I fall to pieces" played on it...

Posted: **8 Dec 2005 8:44 pm**

It's a Pro III. Give it to John Coop or Duane Mars. With a refinish and polish and a new undercarriage it will have all of us drooling.

Posted: **8 Dec 2005 9:54 pm**

I agree,just needs a clean up.I've seen worse. Hell I,ve had worse.

A good close shave and some under arm deodorant would make a lot of difference to start with !!

Posted: **9 Dec 2005 3:29 am**

Ok, that crack about Rory Gallagher was the funniest thing I've seen all week!!!!!!!

Posted: **9 Dec 2005 7:06 am**

well it says it plays in tune and has a great sound so it must be a thousand-no a million times better than the piece of junk pro III i had. mine had a beautiful black finish but the tone was so muddy that even with a 10 band equalizer it still sounded like crap. and even though the changer was smooth as a baby's behind i couldn't keep g#s on it. shesss! was it a reincarnated 50's 1000? sho-bud must have had the quality control of ford in "72. shame!

If Willie Nelson played pedal steel, that's probably what it would look like.

Posted: **9 Dec 2005 1:25 pm**

Is that a true tone paint job?

Posted: **10 Dec 2005 6:34 am**

Actually, that is what most of the guitars look like before we are finished. That would be an excellent candidate for an EXTREME MAKEOVER. Please see www.duanemarrs.com. A.J. Nelson could bring the cabinet back to life for sure.
Thanks for the new Nashville Skyline Seymour shirt Bobbe, your pal, Jeffrey

Somebody had a wedding and after the reception was over, they couldn't find any old tin cans to string behind the car so they just used that old Sho-Bud.

Posted: **12 Dec 2005 6:18 pm**

Jeff Suratt, you are welcome, the T-shirt has the New Orleans skyline on the back, at night.
