John has always played ShoBud pedal steels, and this guitar is the third one he has owned. Previously, he played a ProI and an LDG before settling on the Super Pro in the early 1980s, his first and only double neck, 10 string guitar.

This guitar features 8 pedals and six knee levers, tuned to standard E9 and C6. This is John's principal country music performing instrument.
