| Both the Jackson and the Show Pro are "off shoots" of the Sho-Bud...which one has or is closer to that Sho-Bud sound? |

Don't know anything about Jackson guitars but I will say that a Show Pro is one killer steel. The craftsmanship and the ability to have it made to your specs and taste can't be beat.
I have one and the tone is very even with TONS of sustain. Botttom line get a Show Pro. |

| Jeff, Are all the Sho Pro's made with wooden necks? On an ongoing thread I noticed that the six pictured there were all wooden necks. Where are the Sho Pro's made? |

| They are all wood necks. Killer vintage sound and craftsmanship. Jeff Surratt studied under Duane Marrs for years. |

| Thanks Bill and Kevin, I always had great respect for Mr. Duane Marrs..he replaced that horrible rack system on my Sho-Bud with the tunable collar system...made a big improvement...the guy was an ACE. |

| Pardon my ignorance here, but why not just buy a Sho-Bud? |

Hey Erv, you have one great looking steel there...trouble is, unless I'm wrong, they are not being made anymore. |

Hey Joe, My understanding is that the Sho Pro is everything that the Sho-Bud was, with major mechanical improvements.. It is L Greens steel of choice.
Also, Sho Bud is OOB. |

Brad,
As far as I know, Eddie is still building steels.
However, he is at least a couple of years behind.
I didn't want to wait so I bought this guitar used from Al Brisco in Canada.  |
