Jack - That seems to be the way mine is wired up. I noticed a little jumper cable connecting the two pots together, which I think is the culprit. Either way, I think I am going to leave it alone, since the consensus seems to be that it sounds better when bypassed. Craig - Thanks for the reply, but t...

I have only owned it for about 6 months, and they were never working.
They must have been bypassed.

Both pots have wires connected to them, so I assumed they were just wired incorrectly.

When they are bypassed, are the pots still connected to the pickups & output jack?

Emmons GS-10 Wiring Diagram

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for an Emmons GS-10?

Edit: Its got one single coil, a volume pot, tone pot and a capacitor.
Right now, I'm not sure what is happening, but neither of the knobs is working. No tone adjustment or volume.

Question about potentially re-building an Emmons GS-10

I have an Emmons GS-10 3x2 that I never really play on. I am thinking about selling it, but I have a few questions. I'd like to get as much as I can for it, but I recently noticed some flaws with it. Underneath the cabinet, there is a slight crack where the head is screwed in to the cabinet. Also, i...

Looking to buy a Fretboard & Emmons emblem for my GS10

Hello, Does anyone know where I would be able to find either of these items? The fretboard just looks like it is a sticker of some kind. Mine is beginning to peel off a bit and I wanted to replace it. I'm also looking for a replacement emblem that is screwed on the front. Here is an image that pictu...

Question About Parts for an Emmons GS-10 P/P

I just recently bought my first pedal steel. As the subject states, its an older Emmons Student model. As I am learning about how steels work, and the copedents, I realized that one of my B strings wasn't raising (the 10 string that should be raised via the A pedal) but the other one was. After inve...

I've been keeping an eye out for one of these to pop up. I have heard that these are a great steel to start with, and they have a great tone. From searching the web I have also found that there may have been a few variations on the student models, some of which were better than others. There is actu...
