Just made a firm committment on a ProI.. with 5+6!!! YOW!!!.. My standard E9 copedent for years has been at least 5+4.. My Carter is 5+5.. Now I gots even more stuff!!.
A player named Doug from Oregon saw my post looking for an S 10 and he replied.. We worked out the price[which I will disclose here, in time] and he made a committment to sell,and me to buy. It will be a few weeks as he is out on the road.
The guitar is NOT completed, with a lot of undercarriage work to do.. I think he said it had a Super Pro changer and all the undercarriage parts were Super Pro or Marrs, unless I mis understood,... anyway, he sent me a bunch of pics,but I deleted them like a big moron.
I just bought an MSA,but offed it,to a student of Neil Flanz who is THRILLED at the idea of getting a pro grade guitar for cheap.
It was nice Maple MSA, but the added pedals,refinish,and a new pickup to replace the SS humbucker,would have cost me the same or more than the Bud... anyhow.. thats it. I'm a Sho Bud guy again!... My Carter is going to have to be REAL nice to me with that Pro I lurking around... Both these guitars will be my last unless severe money problems rear thier hideous heads. I pray that the Lord will bless my life so that DOES NOT occur.
I have missed that Bud sound and feel,since selling my Pro III.. I don't know why, but I have a feeling I am going to like this sweet Pro I even MORE than the pro III... anyway,wish me luck guys.. I hope all goes the way I envision it with this deal... bob |

Bob- Sounds like you may have a good one. I hope you will be happy with it.

| yes, there seems to be a Sho Bud revival going on, all the ones I've seen lately "sound great" just looking at them, I would be hard pressed to not buy a S-12 if one came along |

| Mooney turns the knobs untill it sounds like a Fender...or maybe untill it sounds like Mooney. Maybe it really is in the hands. |

Bob,
That sounds like a great guitar. Will you be able to keep it as a backup or will you let it compete for the starting job?

Russ,, It depends I suppose, I love old steels for the "cool" factor,and really like the sound of old steels through the tube amps I use, BUT I find modern steel guitars better at staying/playing in tune,quieter, more precise,etc.
They will both get played.. THATS for certain! I like having a choice..... bob |
