Thank you for your suggestions! What does it mean to "wax" the windings and how does one go about doing it? Also, what does potting the pickup mean? I would like to keep the original pickups if possible but will also look into the new ones you recommended. Thanks to all of you for sharing ...

Pickups on 1973 Emmons Push Pull

The pick up on the E9 neck of my 1976 Emmons push pull has gone microphonic. It appears to be the original single coil pick up. I would like to replace it with something that will keep that great Emmons sound. My friend Henry Matthews said a single coil pick up at about 16.5 ohms might be good but o...

Kevin says he's gonna buy it, but if that falls through I'll let you know. I hate to get rid of it but it needs a better home!

I have a couple already (Good hearted Woman, Crazy Arms, Sleepwalk, Wild Side of Life) but would like more. The cassette tapes don’t sound good due to inconsistent speeds, so let me know how yours work. Email me at Chuck@chlegal.com.

Wow Jim, thanks for that thorough explanation, some of which is well over my pay grade. I checked and there are actually no adjustment screws for that particular string so I’m in the process of trying to get some and see if that will help. I’d like to take it to Henry Matthews but that’s a 3 Hour dr...

Yes Lynn, that's the one! I love it but don't know how to fix this problem. Now when I raise that lever, the pitch of the string goes up 3 half steps instead of 2. How do I get that finger back where it belongs?

Changer finger out of place after string change on PP

After changing string number one on the E9 neck of my 1981 Emmons push pull the changer finger is out of place and I can’t seem to get it back where it is supposed to be. I only have one change on that string, which is to raise a whole step with the right knee lever left Any suggestions? See the pic...

Beautiful and well-playing guitar, nearly brand new with brand new hard shell case and legs. Built by Dan Campbell at Caladesi Guitars. The fret board is flaking a little bit from my picks hitting it, picture shows it, but otherwise it's pristine. Dan offered to put a new fretboard on it so if you c...

Mike, I’m with you but I’m always worried about remembering and reapplying whatever I stumble into that that sounds good, then I get off track and stop creating and start writing it down or recording it. Sometimes I come back and use it later, and sometimes it’s just gone. Do you think it’s all stil...
