I am so glad I finally got smart enough to go back to PP guitars. Here's the one I got here on the forum a while back...My wife is so jealous of this thing...

Two of my PP's ( revised 4/24/20 )

1973 Lacquer D 10 PP. "Ruby" (completely restored by Mike Scaggs) This was originally a green mica guitar in poor condition. Mike removed the mica and installed tiger stripe veneer. The underneath is red flocked. The workmanship is outstanding.

1967 D 10. (Professionally restored by former owner, Charlie McVay.) I purchased this guitar 27 years ago and it was my main guitar for many years. It's still in beautiful condition.

does anyone know what year the spacing between pedals got narrowed down on push pulls?

i'm assuming somewhere in the early 70s, but when?

Chris, yep...you're in the ballpark there. I'm thinking around '72 - '73 is when they started installing 9 or more pedals with the 2 3/8" spacing (if folks wanted extra pedals). But I think they still used the wide cast pedals until about '74 or '75. After that, they went to the narrow cast pedals. I used to own a '65 bolt-on that came with 9 pedals (with 2 1/2" spacing) and I currently own a '64 wraparound that is very the same way....and I've seen photos of other very early guitars like this as well.

My 1974 pictured above has the wide pedals....Mine was built in January of 1974 according to Emmons.

Dustin Rigsby · Post by **Dustin Rigsby** » 12 Oct 2012 11:32 am

From what I've read here on the forum,3 push pulls = 1 Franklin

Isn't that the gospel truth if I read it right here on the forum ? LOL

Talk about pedal spacing, I have a p/p guitar that Doug Jernigan once owned and played. It has 11 foot pedals. I don't know what the pedal spacing is but it has to be close to make room for all those pedals.

Tab you have one really great PP there, good to see you and IT the other day.

Crowbear .... I'd love to hear how you came across Bill Keith's guitar. I remember seeing that guitar in Winnie Winston's book way back when I first started playing. Is Bill still playing steel or just banjo?

Jim

CrowBear Schmitt · Post by **CrowBear Schmitt** » 18 Oct 2012 2:49 am

Jim H, Bill sold that wraparound when he came to France in the mid 70s
it stayed there since & was'nt really played that much
it has recently made it back to the good Ol'

Rod Robichaud · Post by **Rod Robichaud** » 18 Oct 2012 12:54 pm

I kinda like this one

A lot!! Sounds like an Emmons should. If I ever come into some extra $$$ a
pushpull will be next.

Hey Skip Edwards!
Thank you for posting a picture of my Basket Weave Emmons. I wouldn't have any idea how to do that. I'm lucky I can even type a post with one finger.
