Who's Pro?
Tommy White...#0018, #0040, #0087
Tommy has taken the Show Pro guitar to a whole new level since his association almost 2 years ago.
Many fellow steel players and artists such as Gene Watson & Ronnie Milsap have inquired about
what guitar he is using. They all collectively agree it is the best tone ever.
As many of you know, Tommy is making waves throughout the jazz world too. Tommy recently
contributed with his blue Show Pro to a second Bucky Pizzarelli CD. Tommy's playing is unmatched
in any style of music today, and he is one of the most respected players around.
Tommy recently took possession of his fifth Show Pro. He wanted to have something a little bit
different this time and encouraged us to build him a guitar with metal necks. This gives him a little
different sound than the wood necks. This is the guitar that he uses on the Opry.
Lloyd Green...#0001
This was our first Show Pro bearing the name of "The Lloyd Green" model. It seemed fitting that
Lloyd have the 1st Show Pro; since it was in part inspired by him. "A vintage look and classic sound
with the accuracy and tuning of today's modern mechanics."
Since receiving his Show Pro, Lloyd has appeared with Jeff Bates on "Grand Ole Opry Live". He
has also recorded Show Pro 0001 with Charlie Pride, Chely Wright, Gene Watson, Crystal Gayle
and Daryle Singletary to name a few. Thanks to Lloyd the demand for this model has been
tremendous.
Steve Hinson...The Lloyd Green #0003
After hearing about the Show Pro design, Steve was on board before the 1st Show Pro was built,
and was the 1st order placed. Steve has toured with George Jones, Ray Price, Dolly Parton, John
Conlee, Vern Gosdin, and Carl & Pearl Butler to name a few. Steve has also been with Randy
Travis for 13 years. He is one of Nashville's top session players now and has recorded with such
artists as Josh Turner, Kenny Chesney, Trace Adkins and Keith Anderson.
Russ Pahl...Russ Pahl Jr #0004 and #0014
The most unconventional steel player in Nashville and much sought after. Russ Pahl's guitar is a
25"scale with two neck pickups, spaced to the same specifications as the Gibson SG guitar. The
pickups are special windings from Jason Lollar. The neck is a three piece laminate consisting of
"rosewood, mahogany, rosewood" layering. The keyhead is slotted for the neck to go through and
the roller nut block sits down directly on the neck. This design gave the guitar a unique tone and is
loud as a cannon with the heavier guage strings tuned to Eb9th. Russ used the back ledge for the
toggle switch, volume and tone controls for blending of the two. This guitar was used on 15 sessions
the first week he had it.
Russ has recently started doing his own winding for his guitars, along with a hum cancelling dummy
coil device that installs underneath the guitar. Russ is also creating some fantastic new leg bags and
steel covers that allow you to not have to tear your guitar down. Look at our Accessories Page.
Some of the artists Russ has recorded with are John Mellencamp, Terri Clark and Jo Dee Messina.
Russ recently recorded with Willie Nelson on his newest CD "Country Music". Russ toured with
Vince Gill the past couple years; but he is currently touring with Elton John. Russ' innovations are
taking pedal steel to new places.
Dan Dugmore...The Lloyd Green #0006
Linda Ronstadt's version of Blue Bayou with Dan's solo is legendary. During that period of time Dan
was a member of Linda's as well as James Taylor's bands. After leaving the west coast in the early
90's Dan quickly started to record with multiple artists such as Martina McBride, Deena Carter,
Toby Keith, Faith Hill, Gary Allan, Darius Rucker and the list goes on.
Kevin Post...The Lloyd Green #0010
Kevin toured with Terri Clark as band leader for over 10 years. Kevin is currently touring with
Blake Shelton. Kevin also produces and records on many sessions.
Robby Turner...The Lloyd Green #0016, The Double 10...#0051
Robby is a legend in the country music industry. Robby played several instruments before he began
playing pedal steel guitar and became an endorsee for Sho-Bud at the age of 12. Robby has
produced, recorded with, and played with several artists during career; but he is probably best
known for touring with "The Highwaymen" and Waylon Jennings. Robby also toured with the Dixie
Chicks in 2003 during their "Top Of The World Tour".
Robby has recorded with the following artists Gary Allan, Deryl Dodd, Tanya Tucker, Pam Tillis,
Travis Tritt, Sara Evans, Randy Travis, and Paul Simon, Sheryl Crow as well as Waylon Jennings and
Willie Nelson along with the Dixie Chicks and many others. Robby is the steel player on Jamie
Johnson's recent hit "In Color".
