this very rare, and desirable guitar was just recently restored by Mr. Mike Cass, and set up, wonderful condition...for more info visit www.steelguitarsonline.com
- I think the original wraparound was the best sounding of all the Emmons guitars...
- The Blade that I used for so many years was a split-tail and always sounded great to me until I played it next to a wraparound, so I can't honestly put it in the same category...
- When I make a fuss over a wraparound, it's because I've never played another guitar that inspired me as much...
- The guitars I've heard and described as having that "extra special" sound, had the original wraparound neck...
- I never understood why Ron chose to bolt the bridge to the aluminum neck. By doing so, it defeated the purpose of my original three-piece design, which was to minimize tuning problems due to expansion and contraction. Needless to say, the bolt on neck was short lived and replaced with the original three piece neck with the insert in the end, or split as you say. I've heard dogs from all the models, but the wraparound guitar is the guitar I could feel the most when I played...

yes Abe, it is an amazing opportunity once in a life time, to pick between two awesome and rare guitars, 1964 and 1965 genuine wraparounds ... don't think something like this will happened again any time soon...

Wow...
lol...Bill, you would like it, trust me... ... and this guitar is locked up in Nashville facility , in temperature and humidity controlled room, with an armed guard, even I can't borrow it lol ...
oh oh...you guys are going to get me in trouble...that is a lot of money for me, and with me not playing anywhere its really hard to justify owning guitar like this...however, I do realize that if I sell this one, I will never be able to get another one again...it really is a tough decision to make...
