I am selling my Pro II. This guitar was in a flood and the finish of the guitar shows it. However, I have played this instrument for 10 years and it is one of the best playing steels I have ever played. I have installed Lawrence 710's in it and it sounds great! The ONLY thing wrong with this steel is the finish. I have always wanted to restore it but didn't want to take apart a guitar that played and sounded so good just to make it look better. The case was falling apart from water damage so I rebuilt it entirely. The only original wood pieces from the case are the support blocks and divider from the inside. The case is ozite covered and is built very well. This steel has 8 pedals and 4 knee levers, setup Emmons style. There is no LKR lever, it is a vertical lever instead. The guitar only had 2 knee levers when I got it and I had the other 2 installed. Never got around to adding a LKR. Here are some pictures.

$1200.00 plus shipping for this guitar.

Dave,
The links to the pictures do not work. It seems the site you posted them to is down for inactivity. |

The Pro II Customs had a shorter body with a squared front, narrow pedals, with the newer ones having ridges on the pedals, it didn't have the "teardrop" keyhead, but a keyhead more link an Emmons, the knee levers were straight instead of curved, they had at least a double raise/lower, with some having a triple raise/double lower, and the undercarriage was of a different design than the earlier models.
Probably other differences as well, but that's all I can think of at the moment.
Other than that, they were similar.

| I don't want to give the impression that there is anything wrong with the Pro-II Custom. They are great sounding guitars. I think this one has a great price. |
