Here is Drew Manne's new guitar, here at my house for a setup job, the one with the black fret board. The other is my daughter, Maryanne's. I just am blown away at how nice these singleneck Professionals sound and play, when set up correctly. Both these guitars are "Cooped". Got a picture of your favorite Shobud singleneck to share??

Here's mine... bought it new in '72. s/n 2752.
All rack and barrel...and I wouldn't have it any other way. Plays fast and tight, sounds just like it oughta, with mojo for days.

Hi James,
Here is my Pro 1, 6 pedals and 5 knee levers E6 tuning. Original Dual Coil pickup. Had 3 pedals and 3 knee levers put on. 2 E9 pedals A and B and 4 E6 pedals. It doesn't show too good in this picture...al.

Already posted this guitar in another thread but I will put here to. This guitar is about 3 years old, and before you say "how" it was completley redone by Jeff and Duane. The sunburst was done by A.J. Nelson. It has all Show Pro parts.
Alot of big name players are going back to the all wood body guitar. I will take a Sho Bud anyday.

James-Beautiful Guitar.! That Sho Pro is sure Nice.
That picture of me with the Pro 1 is not the same as the picture on my Aviar.
That one is the old prof. rack and barrell all completly Original Curved knees etc,except that it had two shobud dual pickups on it. A great guitar that I sold to Howard R. Reinlab, was sorry and tried to buy it back but he is a collecter and wouldn't part with it.It is just as well as I really like my Pro 1 even better now....al.

James- We sure do, tone to the bone! Right?
It sure does my heart good to see all these beautifully finished Little ShoBud Pro 1's.
Ricky- You have done a few beautiful ones yourself. Thanks from us to you too....al.

Here's one Ricky did for me with Coop's parts. Started out as 3 and 1. Now 3 and 6. He also added the coiltap switch to the original pickup.

Here is my latest acquisition: an early 70s blonde Sho-Bud Pro I. Wonderfully refurbished and converted to a C6 machine by Ricky Davis and John Coop.

Hi James,
Yes, the Super Twin Reverb is a great practice amp And if the wattage would turn out to be too low (due to kids and/or wife making too much noise in the same room), I can always uncover the MacBook Pro stand (a k a Steel King) and get even more sonic punch.

Thanks,
The guitar is a dream to play with incredible sustain and the smoothest pedal action I've ever felt on a Sho-Bud. The shaved-down pedals (done by John Coop) fits me perfectly since I've grown quite accustomed to the pedal size on my Fulawka.

Jan-Nice! Those little Pro 1's are light and easy to carry around too, and still have that nice ext.back apron.. The SD 10 guitars are a lot heavier...al.

Cracked finish, extra holes from multiple knee lever installation attempts, a little bit noisy, tone for days, and happily mine.
