Let's Count Our Formite Emmons P/P's

Henry Matthews · Post by **Henry Matthews** » 11 Apr 2013 10:27 am

There have been several threads lately about the Emmons P/P guitar and how many were made etc. I thought it would be interesting to know how many are owned by formites. Also if you have an unusual one, post a pic. I'll start with my two:

1970 Black fatback D-10
1975 Rosewood D-10

1980 Rosewood mica 3x4 S12

I dunno the date, I think early-mid 70s. Rosewood Black Rock 3+4 S10. It's early enough to have original metal-bean Kluson tuners, not the metal-keystones of the later 70s and early-80s.

Just traded my '74 D10 Rosewood offline to a forum member a few months ago.

Early 1980's D-10 Glossy Rosewood mica. Factory standard set up 8 X 4.

Mid 70's black SD-12. It's got a D-12 endplate and some extra holes underneath (but not a whole mess) so I'm not certain if it's a legit SD-12 or a stripped D-12. Never could find a serial #.

I'm down to one Emmons D-10 for now.......just sold my 67/68 Rosewood.

Below is my current and only Push-Pull......I believe it's a '71. I always refer affectionately to this color as "Barbara Mandrel Blue" because it seems like that was once her theme color.

Anybody know the official Emmons name for this color?

'74 D10 8+5, white 'driftwood' mica

Early 70s Fatback Cut-tail U-12, boring woodgrain color, but plays great

68 D10 "black"

chris ivey · Post by **chris ivey** » 11 Apr 2013 12:53 pm

in the old emmons catalogue with color pictures this color was called 'blue.

the formica colors were all termed 'mica glass' but actually they never used the mica glass..it was always formica of some kind.

Keep em coming guys, so that's

10 D-10's

3 S-12's

2 S-10's

That's really pretty Jerry, is that the Derby blue? Looks to be a lighter blue. I had a derby blue once looked almost like that.

Don't know if it's Derby Blue or as Chris suggest, just plain old Blue.....either way? This guitar originally came to me as an 8/0, so I guess it was a Norlin guitar?

Henry, looks like you better get your calculator out!
