I've decided to part with my main guitar from the last couple years. These are pictures from when I bought it. I've since played a couple hundred gigs with it, so I need to give it a good cleaning, and there are a couple of small dings here and there, but in general it's still in pretty much the same shape as when I got it, allowing for the fact that it was actually used (pretty extensively, at that).
Bill just gave it a once-over a couple months back. This thing plays great, but I'm looking to go in a different direction tonally.
I'm looking for $2350 plus shipping, and not interested in trades unless you've got a Show-Pro or Rittenberry Prestige, or maybe an Emmons P/P. I don't have a ton of money to throw into a new guitar though, so I'm not holding my breath for one of these trades.

I've played a whole bunch of Show-Pros lately and I guess that's just really the direction I want to go in. I've got a couple old Sho-Buds and that's where my ears want me to go. The Williams is a little darker, a little smoother, and probably has a little more sustain.
At some point I really want to try my hand at a P/P too, although I know that's totally different from the Sho Bud/Show Pro thing. |

Ask and you shall receive! I took some time last night to get more shots of everything. I still need to polish the metal parts because it's been a while, but here she is, underside and all. I tried to show any noticeable dings, but there really aren't more than a few.

| I know what you mean about that Sho Bud tone. I have a Pro II and a Show Pro (D10's) and they both have a tone that is so deep and clear and once you get used to it nothing else will ever satisfy your ears. That Williams is a sweet guitar and there's someone out there who needs a light weight SD 10 who will grab it from you when they see it. Be patient! |

| I'm back home to Nashville finally, and I have the Williams with me ready to go. Who wants to buy a steel guitar? |

Hello, Can you explain how the center cross shaft supports work on a square shaft? RP

Atom, that is a beauty. I have a blue 700 SD12 keyless, best steel I've ever owned. Ok, I've only been playing 7 years or so, but I love it. Great tone and sustain.
Ron, the centre nylon pillars simply limit deflection of the cross-shaft under lateral load. Simple, but effective.

Indeed it is Damir.
Go figure a few different guitars I would realllllly like to own have showed up here for sale in the last couple days.
Needless to say, it'd be great if someone bought this guitar so I could buy one of those, so I've dropped the price a little to help push you over the edge  |

| Still available, although I'm out of town till Sunday so won't be able to ship for a week. But I'd really like to sell this one since I've already found its replacement, because I don't want to buy a new guitar till I've moved the old one. |
