yeah that what i thought. on Home Home on the Road he still has an Emmons. Ironically, I believe that was stolen too. They lost a whole truck towards the end of Buddy's time with them. He had several Emmons over the years.

Yep, NRPS has bad luck with equipment loss. According to Larry Hilt, Buddy's purple D-12 Emmons was stolen, as was Bobby Black's guitar when he was playing with NRPS. Larry bought Buddy's D-12 Wood inlaid Emmons, so at least we know where that one is.

Damn, I bet that thing doesn't have any pedal drop.
That is one fine steel guitar. Those knee levers will keep you busy. Jim, Great pictures too, Wonder what it weighs. Glad you got it back Buddy.

My Dekley S10 3x4 weighs roughly 70 pounds in the case. That thing must be a monster.
