It's awesome skip. Got a deep mid range growl but still plenty highs that really sounds good.

this thread really asks the question...where are the other thousand or two emmons hiding? i mean, over 15 years of building push pulls through the prime years of country music with steel, there must be alot just sitting around unused somewhere.

i'd love to see the stats of the number of steels made by all companies. it's interesting that in this modern computer age with it's statistical filing capabilities, the steel industry (manufacturing, production numbers, players, history, etc.) is virtually unknown to anyone but 'us'!

this forum has thousands of members and the most concentrated knowledge and input of steel guitar related stuff anywhere in the world. yet we can only account for hundreds of guitars?

I've owned 6 over the past 42 years, 5 D-10s of which 3 were originally built for me and one GS-10. These guitar ranged from 1972 to 1979 in years built and all were mica. Three Rosewoods, two Black and one White. Currently I have one, a 1978 D-10 which was originally built for me and was black with 9&6. It was out of my hands for over 20 yrs. but is now back with me. It's the best sounding horn of any I owned. I'm also thinking about a '69 D-10 that I know is for sale.

Gary, there are some nice Push Pulls that come up for sale on here quit often but usually, guys like me that sell theirs, wind back up regretting it and getting another. There's no guitar even close to them if you like them but they aren't for everybody.
I've been playing them off and on for 30 years against the advice of my friends here in town that didn't like them. I always told them, you play what you want and so will I. Lol

I play two, and sorry other brands, but after having several other brands over the years, I've been playing these pp's for 14 years now-I'll never switch from Emmons pp.
