It's an eye-catching finish - very nice.
How heavy are these guitars - as heavy as Sho-Buds? They always look so substantial that I wonder if weight's a serious factor. (I'd like one but with blue instead of red... )

Thanks guys. This has been a dream of mine for three years and thanks to my wonderful wife we were able to get it. Roger it the weight is light compared to older Showbuds. I have only had a chance to set behind it 2 times very briefly as the showpro room is packed almost all the time it is open LOL. I started out with a 4 and 4 and then it turned in to a 5L and 4p. The sustain is very good and I would compare the sustain to all of my Thomas guitars I owned since 2005. Better that the GFI for sure. Jeff made 2 minor adjustments and it fits me well.
Roger not sure of the exact weight but I would guess about 21 pounds give or take. It is heavier that my GfISD10 Ultra but the sustain is there if your are wondering about that. I put the E66 on it to get a middle of the road tone. I can go high and low depending on the EQ setting I need for songs. I am a very blessed man to have a great wife who love country music and steel guitar as I do. |

The Show Pro is lighter than the Sho-Bud. Jeff had a beautiful peacock blueburst SD10 in the Show Pro room here in Dallas. Looked a million dollars. I am so pleased with mine - both cosmetically and tone-wise. In fact tonally it has exceeded my expectations. The 24 and a quarter inch scale means it doesn't die above the 12th fret like some 'Buds do.
I am just going to pack it up ready to take on the plane with me, and will not breathe properly until I get it all home in one piece. I had the split cases made for mine.

Thank you John - much appreciated. I travel back to England on Tuesday. I spent a lot of time in the Show Pro room and I can say quite categorically that Mikey Johnson is not just a class act as a player, but is also a class act as a person.
Jeff & Gloria are 2 beautiful people. I love them.

The ShowPro is hard to beat...This will be the eighth season I've had mine out on the Randy Travis tour...it always sounds great and performs flawlessly...
Thanks to Jeff and Gloria for a wonderful guitar...and service that is unequalled! |

Thanks, Ken - do let us all know when it's home safely (and you, of course!!!)
I've just had another enjoyable gig playing my Zum Encore - I really should change a couple of strings, though!!! I can easily imagine a Show-Pro SD10 in my future - blue and maple (no sunburst or shading but more like the ZBs we used to know). My ship's going to have to come in first, though...

PS: I recall seeing Mike play at the NTSGA many years ago - breathtaking, and he was such a pleasure to talk to as well. Tommy White also played that night so you can imagine the talent overload, can't you???

Hope the Roland/Zum combination is still doing it for you. Your back will have already noticed the difference.
Talking of Zums, I am thinking of getting my old mate Mark Giles to make a new lacquer body to replace my faux woodgrain mica bodied D10 Zum. I'll get Ron Mawn to exchange the undercarriage from old to new body. I spoke to Mark yesterday, and we are both keen for it to happen. Will let you know.
In the meantime, I suspect that my Show Pro will be at #1 in the pecking order of my guitars gig-wise. My mates back home can't wait to feast their eyes on it.

Time you changed your Forum 'signature' by the sound of it, Ken - more blue ink, methinks!!!
Thanks for your wonderful email - still enjoying all of it!
