Looking for an Emmons p/p tech

Post by Bruce Wandmayer »

Looking for an Emmons push/pull tech who can rebuild the changer mechanisms I've removed from my guitar. Way too much play.
If you know of anyone, I'd appreciate the info. You may reply to this post or contact me at my e-mail address: Bwana.Groove@prodigy.net
Thanks a million.

Bobby Brewster from around the Tyler area is the best mechanic I know. He set my Emmons LeGrand up to perfection and he worked on all of Bobby Garretts stuff. If you want his phone number email me and I'll send it to you. Best of luck and licks!

Mike Cass is one of our Forum Members held in the highest regard by the P/P crowd. He's done work on my P/Ps and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Great work at a fair price. His email from his forum profile is:

Two words:
Mike Cass
The rave reviews are TRUE.
(BTW, Jay's right, he used to be a bottom feeder but now he Will Steel -- if given half a chance) Image

Bobbe did a tune-up on my push-pull in March and I couldn't be happier. It was pretty good before, but after he got done it was wonderful.

The man for the job is Tommmy Cassella known as Tommy Cass.He is located in Gardnier Mass. He completely re builds nothing but Emmons Sttel Guitars and he also has them for sale.When he is done with the steel guitar it is just like new if not better. If you want his phone number or address let me know.He is also a excellent Steel player.

Thank you to all who've offered assistance!

I just got off the phone with Dana from AllSteel guitar.
This guy seems to really know his stuff!
Plus he has a really clean 1970 with wide pedal spacing.
He can do the set up, and add the vertical knee lever, no problem. Looks to me like this could be a very sold move.

Thoughts?

Mike Cass is the right man for the Emmons, and has built quite a reputation.

I doubt there is anybody alive who can do a better job on an Emmons push/pull than Bobby Bowman of Houston, TX. You only need to see a true master work once to know who the real deal is.
