By your question, you obviously do, Bob. I admit to not being an expert on Super Pro's, so what am I missing?

Nothing strange. But the moment I see someone from Greensburg, Pennsylvania selling steel guitar stuff I know that I'm going to need lots and lots of legal proof that he is not one particular person before I'll trust him with anything like my money.
And once I'm this kind of suspicious and I see a zero feedback rating, I start thinking little things like maybe this is a new account because he burned the old accounts with all his sales of illegal pirated stuff etc.
Besides that...no, nothing strange. |

he lists the parts as coming from a super pro ll....which i'm sure they're not, since super pro ll's were very special and anyone taking one neck off would be an idiot!

Now, now, Chris, let's not jump to conclusions. They might not be an idiot; they could just be a charlatan...

| I've dealt with this certain person who's name I will not speak of because I value my forum membership. I was scammed to say the least. It wasn't a forum deal either. We'll leave it at that! |

I doubt these came from a SuperPro II. Some of the SPII's had regular SuperPro style undercarriages (bell cranks/hex shafts), and some had the different center-pull bellcranks, etc. But all of them had a different changer than the normal SP style changer. At least, to my knowledge they did...
So...judging by the one pic we see here, this looks like a stock SP changer assembly to me.
That's my take... |

| If you ask any questions, you might want to write in LARGE LETTERS, just in case the seller was, say, deaf, or something? |

Super Pro II. The name is very misleading because it is not a Super Pro and it is not a Pro II but a totally different guitar. As a matter of fact, very few parts that Sho-Bud ever built interchange with this rare guitar. This guitar was supposed to be the ultimate, supreme, albeit most expensive Sho-Bud ever built. Only 7 ever were built. They were designed and built in 1984 and most went to name players for promotion purposes. These guitars have many innovative features like glow in the dark Sho-Bud fretboards, grooved end castings, rollercam (meaning a brass roller was installed in the end of each finger to eliminate wear and sliding in the changer). The single coil pickups were unique in several ways … one of which is they had the Sho-Bud logo etched in the top of the quarter inch magnet pickup. The entire mechanical undercarriage of the guitar was pure aircraft aluminum and was totally different than any Sho-Bud before or since. All 7 guitars were made from the finest, choice birdseye maple available. The several unique features of these high-quality guitars contribute to their present value of approximately $12-15,000 each, which puts them undoubtably among the most collectible of all steel guitars and definitely the most valuable Sho-Bud ever made. This is from Bobbe Seymour at Steel Guitar Music....Thought this was very interesting

| I see it closes in 3 minutes and someone with zero feedback has put 4 bids on it. Looks like a possible shill job to me. |
