I have noticed two people with new Show Pro's lately, and thought it would be cool to see some more of Jeff Surratt's creativity. I will start this off with mine. If you can't play well like me, you might as well have a guitar that makes you look better. LOL.

I was fortunate to find it for sale used near my 'hood and it's what pushed me over to enter PSG-land
Wow, don't think I've ever seen a Show Pro in this finish before. Is that a silver to black burst? Would love to see a few more shots of this one, as well as any others.

Wow! Had to bring this post back up to the top. I can't say enough good things about Show-Pro. They're one of the most consistent, innovating, thoughtful, and creative steel guitar manufacturers in the business today! I read or hear from time to time about Show Pro is like a new Sho-Bud, but Show-Pro is in it's own category. There are definitely Sho-Bud influences, especially cosmetically with the wood/lacquer physicality. Yet The Show Pro stands in a class of it's own mechanically and tonally. I definitely rely on all of my Show-Pro guitars on a daily basis and can relax knowing they pull through in any given situation. They also do great mechanical work on all brands of guitars.
Looks like Adam Ollendorff is playing the Show Pro Russ Pahl guitar with Kacey Musgraves in this NPR Tiny Desk concert. Man, what a gorgeous sounding steel...the playing is fantastic in my opinion.
I am really knocked out by your sparkly namesake model, Eddy. The pickups look like the old Jaguar-style pups they used to use long ago, but of course I don't know cruddola about them. I imagine all sorts of crazy out-of -phase sounds, maybe even laser guns and missile launchers coming out of that thing. But it looks vintage style classic, too. Your steel is making me think a little bit.
I haven't cared for this finish on Gibson guitars, I think they call it Silverburst. But this is unique and beatiful in my humble opinion. Nice one, Dave!
i guess daniel missed the old discussion about russ pahl's creation.
i dig that grayburst job with the short back deck. classy!
show pro is definitely a happening company, open to customer input and upholding traditional style!
