The Steel Guitar Forum

This is what changed my mind on the worst amp ever to the best one ever. This took care of the sound, weight and looks, with the help of Rick Johnson Cabinets.

Back in the early 60's while stationed at Tyndall AFB in Panama City, Florida, in the newspaper every Sunday, in large print, were the words "THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IS STRONGER THAN THE WHINING OF INFIDELS-IT IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THOSE WHO BELITTLE THEM WHO POSSESS IT!" I really miss those d...

Gary is a great player. Just wondered if he ever plays the C neck?

Go to U-Tube and look up Bill Sutton. He doesn't seem to have a problem playing his Emmons even with his cowboy boots on!

Thanks for the kind words William. If it sells Vickie said she would bake you a pie!

Serial # 1078L Emmons setup 4 knee levers

Everything is just like it came from the factory. I think those are humbucking pickups.I'll see if I can get my wife to get some close up pictures. She said it had 14 holes in those little hangy down things.

I bought the guitar from JQ Sides who owned The Music Corner down in Concord. He was friends with Ron Lashley. Ron would ocassionally bring a guitar down from Burlington and leave it with him to sell.

Randy, I've got the bill of sale somewhere. It's around 1995.

Thanks Bud. It had my wife fooled too. We don't get out much.

Thank you very much

Sorry Bob. Didn't mean to get on my bandwagon.

Bob, You are right about most people not knowing where Kannapolis is but I'll bet you and most people on the Forum have washed and dried themselves with towels and washcloths that were made here. Before Charlie Cannon died it was the largest manufacturer of textiles in the world. A great place to gr...

Can anyone tell me the difference between an Emmons Legrand and a Legrand ll besides the difference in the size of the tuning keys? And which one would you rather own?

US Air Force 1962-1966. Sent to Lackland AFB for Basic Training and Air Police Tech School. Stationed at Tyndall AFB, Panama City, Florida until discharge in 1966. With a wife and two kids in 1970 I tried to re-enlist and they turned me down. Told me if the Air Force wanted me to have a wife and kid...

Always loved my Steel King. Just too heavy for an old man. This was my solution(hope this picture comes through)It actually has a deeper sound without the amp in the cabinet.

Thanks Michael. I had never heard of this place. I may see what they think of my old Gretch Country Gentleman while I'm at it.

My Father-in-law has an old Gibson flat top, I think they call it a three quarter size, he bought new right after WWll. In really good shape with the original alligator hyde case. His health is going down fast and will probably be selling it soon. Does anyone have some idea what this guitar would be...

Randy, Last summer I picked up a nail in the front tire of my riding mower. Didn't have any plugs so I pulled out the nail,got a short fat wood screw, coated it with Gorilla glue, spit on it and screwed it into the hole. Let it dry overnight, pumped it up and it's held ever since. Wonderful stuff!!

Dennis, look up Dunlop nylon herco thumb picks on the internet. This looks like the ones I have. The nylon stretches some without breaking.

Dennis, there used to be a medium blue nylon thumbpick out there. Don't remember the name. Bought a dozen many years ago and still have a few. Lost several but never broke one. For playing electric guitar I would shave them down real thin from the inside and still never broke one.
