Best sounding Emmons guitar EVER...wood necks Emmons RULE!!!! Don't sell it you'll be sorry...

Keith Hilton · Post by **Keith Hilton** » 30 Sep 2014 9:50 am

Bob, I totally agree with you. I do have mixed emontions about getting rid of it. Besides selling it, I might trade for a LeGrande II. I have a fellow wanting the guitar now, but I really hate to trade guitars without him seeing my guitar, and me seeing his guitar.

Are the pickups original on this steel?

Thanks.

Eric, I wish I could answer that question, but I just don't know. I got this guitar from the Jack Kandora estate. Jack died about 4 years ago, and I have played the guitar over the last 4 years. Jack was a friend of mine, and a great player on both C6th and E9th. Jack told me he bought the guitar from Bobby Seymour. That is really all I know about the guitar, except that it sounds amazing. It also stays in tune.

This is a great sounding guitar. I have been in a jam session next to it. I want it, just can't have it!

Those p/u's look like TrueTones to me.
Very cool gtr...always wanted a mica/wood neck/bolt-on p/p...too bad I don't have a LeGrande to trade you.

I think I remember that Jam Session Jerry. If I remember correctly, the sound of that Emmons curled your hair. When the Jam Session was over your hair looked like you had been to a beauty salon.

Jerry Roller · Post by **Jerry Roller** » 2 Oct 2014 11:08 am

Yep, at Jerry and Venda Hanley's home with Terry Bethel, Mike McGee, Bro. Hanley, and you and me on our old push pulls. That was a fun evening. It always is when the Hanleys host a jam. I love the bolt-on wood neck Emmons.

Ok here is the E9th pedal knee setup of the 1971 push pull.
Pedal 1---Raises strings 5 and 10 a whole tone from B to C#.
Pedal 2---Rises strings 3 and 6 a half tone from G# to A.
Pedal 3---Raises strins 4 and 5 a whole tone E to F# on string 4 and B to C# on string 5.
Pedal 4---Works on both C6th and E9th neck. On the E9th neck this pedal lowers string 3 from G# to G and raises string 6 from G# to A.
Pedal 5--Works on both C6th and E9th neck. On the E9th neck this pedal raises string 4 from E to F#.
Does anyone want to know the C6th set up?

Keith Hilton · Post by **Keith Hilton** » 2 Oct 2014 5:12 pm

Ok, here is the E9th knee levers.
LKL raises Es to Fs.
LKR lowers Es to D#
LKV lowers Bs to A#
RKR riases string 1 from F# to G# and lower string 9 to C#.
RKL lowers string 2 from D# to D, and raises string 7 from F# to G.

what is the serial number...can I get close up pics of each end plates the under side..thanks

Keith Hilton · Post by **Keith Hilton** » 20 Oct 2014 6:01 pm

I guarantee the serial number matches guitars made in 1971. I will give you the exact serial number if you are serious about buying, and make arrangements to buy the guitar. I have had the guitar sold twice for $3,900.00. The hang up has been shipping. Also, I want the buyer to see the guitar in person. I do not want any complaints about anything after the sale. I have heard so many bad stories about guitars broken in shipping. Then people having to wait years for a small settlement. What made up my mind not to ship it by Fed Ex or UPS, was when the Mangager at Fed Ex's main office told me this: He said: "We do not ship stringed instruments-period". Guitar is still up for sale or trade, but you need to come to where I live. That way you know what you will be getting. Plus the guitar will be in your care all the way home.

Keith, Greyhound Bus Lines is an excellent way to ship. You might give that some thought.

I want to post this with out any accusations...but this guitar looks just like the one I bought from mike Cass in 1997...mike built a guitar just like this one mica body with wooden necks, it was stolen from my house in north east Alabama and was bought in a pawnshop in Huntsville Alabama, in 2002 and was brought to mike Cass to be set up with the day set up. mike informed the man who bought it that it had been stolen. From me mike verified the guitar tried to contact me...but the man who bought it from the pawnshop traded it to bobby Seymour, thus it has been all this time and this is the only p/p bolt on that I have seen since mine was stolen, mine also was a 1971 p/p black mica and wooden necks..i have pictures and a hour video of the guitar being played by mike the night I bought it...I have engraved some numbers underneath the end plate right under one of the changers I believe. If you could please check and see if there has been any scratched out places under there...I would just like to know if that would possibly be the one mike built for me ? thanks,

Keith Hilton · Post by **Keith Hilton** » 20 Oct 2014 6:50 pm

Serial number 1486D I see no scrached out places where you suggested.
