It looks like I missed out on the deal of the decade: https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=395330, so I'm still looking!

I'm looking specifically for an Emmons push-pull. I'd prefer an S10 (for the weight savings) but an SD10 would also be okay.

I just edited my post to say that an SD10 would also be considered. Thanks for reading!

Hello, I'm looking for an Emmons S10 or SD10 original push-pull in good playing condition with a minimum setup of 3p+4kl (5kl preferably, one vertical). If the legs happen to be 1" shorter than standard, even better! Any sellers out there?

Recording dry to "tape" is generally a good idea, but a competent recording engineer should be able to provide you with ambience (reverb and/or delay) for monitoring purposes if you ask for it. Personally, I think a sound with zero ambience (if even just a decent room sound) is very uninsp...

I raise G# to A#(Bb) on P0, along with lowering 9th string D to C#. I use it largely with P1 and sometimes the E raises and lowers (for open F#7/9, F#maj7/9 and F#6/9, respectively). I can get a full range of F# major chords and a lot of great vertical harmonized and chromatic scales. Lowering 9 to ...

Sold and shipped. Please close and thanks!

Charlie, they are wide mount. I should've specified that up front, sorry.

I have two BL 710 pickups for sale; recently pulled from a Williams Series 600 D10, in like-new condition. All leads are 13"-15". $75 each or $145 for the pair, shipped to the lower 48; Paypal is fine. Thanks for looking!

So, has anyone determined whether or not Rains is still in business? Their website is no longer up...

The Isaacs change on P4 can be cool, but I think that raising 6 to A# is even more useful (for great F#7/9 moves with or without P3). You can easily re-tune the string 6 raise to have either one, actually. I find a 9th string root with P1+P2 or P2+P3 more useful for maj7 chords, but YMMV...

Tim, the only reason I can see for having the 1,2,7 raises on LKR instead of RKL would be to enable using it with 2,9 lowers on RKR. I can see the usefulness of that, but for myself, I don't think I want to relearn my knee lever locations so late in life :) . As for your lowering 3 to G and 6 to F# ...

I have to disagree, Mike. I use the heck out of that (lowering both Bs) on the vertical to split an A or C pedal's C# to C. Why is that a mistake?

I failed to read the entire thread - some interesting thoughts there. I like playing 9,8,7,6 for a 4-major 7th (pedals down) and descending through the 3 minor by engaging RKR, dropping two frets for the 2-minor. That half-step raise spoils it. It does spoil that if you absolutely need the legato m...
