Sho Bud length?

Frode Bjoernstad · Post by **Frode Bjoernstad** » 20 Dec 2005 12:39 am

Hi !

I need a quick reply!

What is the total length of a Sho Bud Pro 1 S-10 (or any 70's Sho bud I guess) in inches?
Other measures (xx" X xx" X xx" + pedal rack length ) would also be very helpful...
This is for a case I have been offered, and I don't have my steel at home at the moment!

Thanks !

Frode

Frode........My pro 2 is 33 5/8 long but you probably want to leave a little extra for switches if any. Maybe 34 inches or a tad more. Mine is a dbl neck so thats all I can help on.

Thanks for that very quick reply sir!

I was hoping it would fit in one of these for light weight gig bag for my Pro 1. There is one for sale here in Oslo at a decent price, but it looks like the steel is a couple of inches to long if the Pro 1 is the same length as your Pro 2 .. I guess it is, but is there any pro 1 owners thet can confirm this? This bag is 32 1/4" x 12 1/2" x 10"

This would be a nice bag if I just rebuilt it to fit my pedal steel guitar… Maybe someone have any experience with bags for Wind instrument bags?

Frode; I've had every style Sho-bud single-10 here at the house; and they all were over 33 inches....usually all in the 33 1/2" area; give or take a 1/8".

Don't forget that ProI's came in 2 lengths... there's also the shorter body, late model ProI...without the gumby headstock and lacking the inch or so of body at the changer end.

Frode,

Mine's an 80's "The Pro 1", and its length is just over 32 1/4 ". It's definitely under 33". I believe it's similar to the one you picked up recently, but I can't be sure.

Frode-Ricky has it right. My original Pro 1 S10 is 32 and 1/2 inches long, and still need a half inch more for the dual coil switch.

A great playing and sounding guitar....Merry christmas....al
