The Steel Guitar Forum

I found some awesome pictures of the new Show-Pro pedal steel guitar!

Can't wait to hear Loyd play his..I somehow think it is beyond awesome in his hands....

Thank you TB, There is now a better front view of the guitar on the site "www.duanemarrs.com" under Show Pro. It is with AJ Nelson "master finisher" Duane Marrs and myself behind Lloyd on his new guitar. We call the finish blueburst to natural. Steve Hinson's is a little darker in the middle, but the same color scheme and blue is an aqua shade. That aside, if it didn't sound right, Lloyd wouldn't play it regardless. Sincerely, Jeff Surratt

Incredible sound, looks, and accuracy. You want classic retro sound. Get a Sho-Pro. Congratulations guys.

I hear they will be offering it in a keyless , as an option!


Just kidding guys.

I can't wait getting my Sho-Pro. Jeff, Lloyd told me what a great guitar it is so that is reason enough to order one from you.

Will the Show~Pro be available with metal necks?

'' WOW '' what a great looking guitar . I cant wait to hear Lloyd play it . I can tell by just looking at this guitar that it will turn some heads in the steel guitar industry . Gary .

Hello Duane do you build new guitars? and what are you asking for them? I did not see a price list or options.

I can't say enough about Duane Jeff AJ et al.

I have had my Marrs Retrofit for more about a year and a half, gigged hard with it every weekend, and I never thought I'd like anything better than my old ProIII. Yeah well I was wrong.

I might not look or otherwise act thataway, but I might be the pickiest person on the planet when it comes to my guitars.

No "Hysteresis", that's for sure!

As I have time I'll post some pix and observations, but I don't think there's a better bunch of craftsmen anywhere.

Bless Their Hearts.

Lloyd's too.

Sincerely.

I just got an e-mail with some pictures of mine...I think it's just about finished...can't wait!<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Steve Hinson on 31 May 2006 at 05:17 PM.]</p></FONT>

Steve, Jeff just added a few of the shot's to our site. They are under the ones of Lloyd. Better view of keyhead etc...
In all of my years building, this is the most accurate playing and tuning guitar I've had come off of a bench.
The high's above the 12th fret are very brilliant too. We have enjoyed playing it this afternoon.

Duane,I hope it ain't TOO accurate...I don't play that good...I am really looking forward to getting that gitter...

'awesome' is pointing in the right direction but 'beyond words' pretty much says it...

Question: what exactly is the 'stomp box' that Lloyd has hooked up? Thanks

What a cool steel gentlemen. I am familiar with Duane and Jeff's work and know
these will be some of the best in the world.
Sho Bud pretty with modern day mechanics.What else could anyone want.

That's a Boss RV-3 he's got hooked up. I just got one of these and really like it. The DD-3 and Holy Grail are on the way out the door.

Sorry for the highjack......

Edit: changed my mind on the RV-3.... <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Chris LeDrew on 14 June 2006 at 06:07 AM.]</p></FONT>

I picked up my new guitar yesterday afternoon...it's great!I couldn't be happier with it...it sounds and plays perfect...thanks,Duane and Jeff!

Steve, I have heard your playing on "Just To Be Your Man" and ain't no way you can deny that terrific playing. I wish I could get the intro and turn aroun (ending) down lick for lick. Maybe if I play for another 62 years, I might learn it.

Thanks Gere...looking forward to cutting some stuff with my new guitar!

Hey Steve,
