I just love my '66 Emmons

Is that blackface back there a '66 too?

No Jack, that's a Fender Twin Reverb (Reissue) made in '92 . . . the Emmons is a '66 bolt-on.

Nick, I'm anxiously awaiting delivery of my very own bolt-on, courtesy of Joseph Andrews. It's supposed to be on the big brown truck for delivery "before the end of the day" today. Of course, it's only a baby bolt-on (GS-10), but that does not dim my anticipation. Seems like most of us push-pull guys really like 'em. Hope it's not too large an adjustment after playing a D-10 for all these years. But my back will be thankful.

I had a '66 bolt-on about two years ago. Pickups were 19k, measured by Mike Cass...boy was that thing loud and punchy! Traded it for a '67 cut-tail "just because", sure miss it! Glad you are enjoying yours. Emmons were just such unusual guitars!

P.S. Many thanks to Mike Cass for helping me with these unique beautiful guitars!
