'82 Emmons PP

Let me say that this is an outstanding Emmons PP that Greg is selling. Billy K. completely rebuilt it in 2014 and I doubt you will find a better D-10 Emmons PP at this price at this time. I had the pickups re-wound to 18.5K and thought that added a lot more fullness. Even before the re-build, it was...

Emmons history question

I received a press release from Emmons in May 1998 announcing the sale of the company to Jim Aycoth. It stated that Ron Sr. would play "a key, active role" and that Ron Jr. and Jack Strayhorn would remain with the company. When I returned to Burlington in February 1999 to pick up a new gui...

Everyone has a different take on this, right? Much like you, Michael, I was interested in translating a sweetened tuning on E9 pedal steel to C6 lap steel. My LeGrande III psg really doesn’t have any cabinet drop so I like using a sixth-comma meantone temperament tuning in which the Es are tuned +5 ...

A week afterward I was told I wasn’t chosen and later learned through IMDb that the part went to Russ Pahl. Go get ‘em, Russ! Also, I ju...

The original owner was Bert Rivera, who bought it new from the factory in September 1970 (Serial #1378D, Invoice #4953, Order #850). Billy Knowles sold me the guitar in August 2009 a...
