"POSSIBLE VINTAGE D10 EMMONS SALE OR TRADE SERIAL# 1543"


Must be around a 1970 era as my '71 Emmons serial number is 1568

Sounds like you guys got all this packaging down then with your past experiences. I appreciate all the replies from everyone.

Randall, you'll definitely have to pack your case inside of a box of some kind with a LOT of packing material. The package needs to be able to withstand a 6-foot fall onto concrete... because that's very likely to happen, regardless of which carrier you use. Greg Cutshaw wrote a nice summary of how...

Howdy.....I was just wondering on how do you ship such a heavy instrument like a 75lb D-10 PSG? Obviously within it own case, but do you wrap the case with tape or do you put the case inside another box so the case doesn't get marred up too? With that much weight, isn't there a 'weight limit' for UP...

I have a question...My '71 Emmons D-10 came with 'White' colored Atoms on the fretboard. I see many other Emmons, even earlier than mine, with colored Atoms. Was that an option of a color choice back then that year? I mean I haven't seen any other white atom fretboard steels on here. When I ordered ...

As far as the Emmons Kluson tuners, I see as well that my '71 Emmons doesn't have the nut either and never gave it much thought before these post. I never particulary like the looseness of the Kluson keys, as when you tune it up and you overshoot the pitch, you turn it back and there is a looseness ...

Regarding my first hand experience of Emmons Steels staying in tune....I have a '71 Emmonds D-10 and I never had any real problems with it going out way of tune. Usually temperature changes like playing outdoors in the sun, or the steel needed to warm up to near room temp from riding in the van in t...

Hello David....thanks for your reply. I would have to agree with you that guitar amplifiers have been around a long time and each one has been pretty much perfected to do a particular job. No one amp seems to do it all. The Fender Twin had the sound I liked and I was used to hearing it time after ti...

I forgot to mention that there is another simular file in that same section called 'Snapping and Popping'. It is simular to the 'Chicken Pickin' one, but different enough so it should be downloaded as well if your interested in that style of playing. http://www.freeguitarvideos.com/LJ2/LJ2T11a.html

Regarding my experience with amplifiers, I haven't had many at all. I started with a Fender Vibrolux Reverb back in 1964 with guitar, and when I started playing steel, I moved up to a Fender Twin from around the 70's era. The Vibrolux was good for playing around the house at that time. I liked the s...

Hey....for all those like myself who also play telecasters, besides steel and banjo, etc. and want to learn how to get that 'Chicken Pickin' sound, here is a Free short video you can download and save to your hard drive. The artist is Peter Vogl. He shows you how to do it in slow motion and then spe...

Okay.....I jumped in and sent a report also.

I wouldn't like it if it was my material being copied.....and someone else profiting from it!

Okay Damir..thanks for clearing that up.

However, I am not familiar with the terms 'fatback' ot 'cutback' on a steel.
Thanks for your replies.

Hi....the 'Promat' looks very nice and almost exactly like my '71 Emmons includng the style of floor pedals, fingerboard, tuners and pickups, endplate, etc. (My fingerboard has the white atom symbols instead of colored) Is this a knockoff of the Emmons guitar? I mean what is the bigger difference? h...

Nice looking steel there Nick. I think Black was a very popular color back then. I have a 1971 Rosewood Emmons D-10, 8/7, and I have never owned or played any other, so I can't compare it to any others steels really. I haven't been playing music for the past 26+ years as I got into others things, an...

Wow......Darvin.... you could open up your own music store! All the steels shown here by others as well, look really nice. I only have one, plus a few other regular guitars.

Ahhhh, my mistake, the 'padlock' or closed topic for this same topic I saw was in the 'steel players' forum.

Hi guys...Jim and Bob and others. I like the tone on my Emmons as I am also used to hearing it sound that way now. It does take a little time to get the sound you want to hear in your head and have it come out the amplifier. I think it is also a matter of a good amp and playing technique. One other ...

Hello....well it looks like this thread is winding down. I want to thank all those who responded with your personal thoughts and feelings from around the globe. I probably won't be buying a new steel as I still love my Emmons. I wish only that it had come with better tuning keys is all. But, maybe S...

Hi all....well it certainaly isn't my intentions to start any arguments on who's is the best, I just thought there might be 1 or 2 pedal steels that most people would want over all the rest is all. I have never heard of many of the new ones and certainly not a 'Anapeg' mentioned by Jon. I have a clo...
