Who's Pro Continued?
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. Smith can also be seen playing his Show Pro in the movie "Country Strong"; which stars
Gwenyth Paltrow and Tim McGraw.
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 the Wrights duo.
Jon Graboff...S-10Custom #0032, #0058
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.
Pat Severs...The Double 10 #0037
Pat has been in Nashville since the late 70's. He has worked the road with many artist including Charlie Rich. Pat toured and
recorded with Eddie Rabbitt aduring the 80's, and was one of the founding members of Capital Recordings group "Pirates Of The

toured quite a bit too. He recently toured with Hank Williams III and also with Fast Ryde. He recently took a job playing steel
and dobro with Clay Walker. Not too long ago Eddy made his Opry debut playing steel for Clay, and Clay gave him an
