Well.....maybe. But as well as being a very rare machine, the Super Pro 11 currently for sale at Bobbe's has to be one of the best ever lookers.

Now I wonder if Bobbe will hold onto it for me until I get my lottery numbers up?  |

Nice mica. 
I'm glad you posted this picture, Ken. I've been looking for a second steel for home use and lending out to steel players from out of town....you know, something I wouldn't have to worry about? However, I may hold out for something that has a nicer grain of wood. |

Chris - I don't think that is mica. It looks more like some kind of plastic, stick-on stuff you can get at craft stores. Once Bobbe realizes that, he'll probably drop the price quite a bit.

C'mon guys, that's clearly plywood!
I don't know if it's the best Bud eva, but it's sure the most expensive one! I bet mine smells worse though.
Seriously, that's one of the mostest awesomest hunks of wood I've ever seen. |

Yeh Chris - I noticed the lack of at least the 8th pedal. Maybe Bobbe took it off and put it on his own guitar to get the Franklin change. But then again, maybe not.
I have just got an email from Mr Umbopa who is offering me 16 million dollars just to use my bank account to release trapped funds. Now I don't normally fall for this money for nothing business but that Sho-Bud is tempting me to take up Mr Umbopa's offer!! [This message was edited by Ken Byng on 16 November 2006 at 12:26 PM.] |

| I wonder if the lack of pot metal parts underneath will spoil the tone? |

| At $15,000, I wonder if the aircraft scrapped for the aluminum comes with it? Just kidding, Bobbe. |
