I just finished rebuilding my '81 D-10 PP that once had a a 10x10 set-up. Some of you may remember seeing this guitar once before. I built it with a lot of extra attention to detail and even re-flocked the belly. It currently has LeGrande key heads on it with Grover tuners but I still have the orignal keyheads and butterfly tuners.

Lynn' beautiful. The real shame of a PP Emmons as nice as yours is two fold. One; It ain't mine. Two; You can't pick it up side down so the really great mechanics can be seen and enjoyed!
I know! What you need is a floor mirror.

Gosh, thanks so much everyone for all your kind comments.
Jeff, I know you're very happy with the two Emmons S-10 PP guitars that I used to own. Thanks so much!
Mike, I have a local metal polishing company that I have do all of my aluminum parts. They have one guy that specializes in custom work. I hope you're still enjoying the D-10 Emmons PP I sold you last year.

Thanks very much everyone! Larry is right about this guitar...tone to die for!
Jay, I used some Mcguire's automotive products on the mica to polish and wax it before reassembly.
