Justin Schipper...The Lloyd Green #0020
Justin can be seen playing his Show Pro on the road. He is currently touring with Josh
Turner.
Smith Curry...The Lloyd Green #0024
Smith is one of the premier Dobro players around Nashville; but he does a lot of
session work too. You've heard him on the Billy Currington and Jason Aldeen hits.
Alex McCollough...The Lloyd Green #0030
Alex was going for the vintage look with his Show Pro. The front board is made of
rosewood as well as the neck on his guitar. Alex is a mastering engineer here in
Nashville, and he mixes many of the albums you listen to. He is also a bass player
and steel guitarist for groups. He currently plays with with the Wrights duo.
Jon Graboff...S-10Custom #0032
Jon came to Show Pro with some very specific custom design requests for his S-10,
from body width, pedal and knee lever placement and finish. Show Pro #0032 was
debuted on "The Late Show with David Letterman" just three days after Jon received
it. Jon was so pleased with the guitar that he ordered a second guitar, an exact
duplicate to #0032!
Jon is in a fairly interesting position. He's a pedal steel player in a band known more
for rock music than country. Although Ryan Adams and the Cardinals have been
tagged an alternative/country rock outfit, the music is a lot more rock than country and
their latest CD "Cardinology" entered the billboard pop album charts at #11.
Although Jon cut his teeth pouring over classic recordings featuring many of the
marquee steel players in country music like Green, Rugg, Myrick, Hughey, Maness,
Brumley and Emmons, he's trying to develop a different approach to the pedal steel
that he hopes will carry the instrument past the mental barriers that have limited it's use
to just one genre of music.
