Mike Cass has fixed and customized two Emmons PP guitars for me in the past. He just finished my latest PP. It is a D-12 which he dressed up to 9 and 9. Mike does great work. It is not easy getting all that crap on a push pull and having it work. It plays and sounds great.

Thanx for the props guys
btw Bobby, are you related to my old,old friend Richard Jacks? He sold me my first Dobro,a Hounddog brand in 1969. Dick was invaluable to me in my teenage years with his great attitude and information on the Dobro. At that time about all the Dobro articles,etc available at the time were found in "Mugwumps" folk music quarterly or occassional bits in "Sing OUT!". Dick sent me pics, tapes, articles etc that kept me going. Heck of a good guitar he sold me,too.
On the original question, feel free to call me @ 615-781-2538 between 10am and 6pm CT.
im sure we can fix that old p/p up for you

I can't speak for the cosmetic restorations,but I bought a Push Pull in Nashville that was set up there and it wound up in Houston in the hands of Bobby Bowman because it just wasn't "right". As far as its' ease of playing after it came back to me, I'll put it up against anybody's work. Bobby Bowman not only in my opinion the best with a p/p, he is a sincere and great man and won't quit until it is RIGHT ! If you don't like what he has done, he will not take your money ! His # is 281-856-9453.

I`m very suprised nobody mentioned Bobbe Seymour who is a PP guru.Every PP I ever had went thru Bobbe`s hands and there was nothing else to say but the best about his work and knowledge.And the monster TONE he get out of those guitars...well,that is another great story.

i just finished mine about three weeks ago.
i did it all by myself, in my own apartment between the kitchen and the living room except for spraying the clear lacquer. i had my friend do that for me, but i buffed it and polished it. took every single screw...spring...rods and everything else apart. change the color and even buffed and polished all metal parts.
i traded my 3 year old mullen r/p d-ten for this 30 year old EMMONS P/P D-10 W/8&4 machine. i tell you if he saw it now he'l want it back.
THAT'S A BIG NO-NO.
if someone could show me how to post pictures on the forum i will gladly post a few.
sorry i can't do this for anybody else. i just don't have the space to do it. as you know this is a very messy job.
good luck to all of you.

Carlos, I'd like to see pictures of that guitar. Does it have wood necks? I have only seen one other lacquer P/P with wood necks - the one Gary Brandin plays. It's beautiful and sounds great!
The funny thing is, the guitar was originally a deep blue color, but faded to a kind of green that still looks great! He said he bought it from Mike Cass.
