I agree with Mike. Mike and I spent most of the day last Friday with Bryan when Mike picked up his steel. His PP is a beauty and sounds and plays great. Bryan is a real technician and a super guy. This man has a wealth of knowledge of the early days and enough steel guitar momorabilia and pictures to fill a book. It was a real pleasure to spend time with him. Bryan just loves Steel Guitar and players.

Mike and David I can agree with what you're saying about Bryan Adams being among the best, if not the best, Emmons guitar builder and repairmen, since he worked so many years there at the Emmons Factory with Ron Lashley and Fred Trogdon in particular.
He has built several guitars for me over the years and he's the one who I still take my Emmons to if I want it Tweeked up.
By the way, Bryan's CD with Dave Stout on Vocals is one of THE BEST Country CD's you can buy. Bryan still has a few left I believe, so give him a holler and order you a copy. If you like Steel and Fiddles you'll like this one!
I play my copy all the time. Here's a list of the tunes on the CD.

Let me throw in my 2 cents for Bryan. I bought an Emmons SD-12 PP from a contact on the forum. It was in like new condition, but after 30 years it was due for a tune up. Bryan did a supberb job on it. I couldn't be happier. Bryan's playing is 2nd to none. If you like straight ahead country, get his CD's and tracks.

Every thing you fellows say is so true and more. Bryan built me 6 pp's and one Legrande. My guitars play better than they did when the were first built. There is no other mechanic I would consider taking my guitar to. The guitars that he built for me are priceless to me.If you are lucky enough to have him build you a guitar,you've hit the jackpot.

Bryan worked on my Sho Bud a couple of years ago, it was like brand new when I got it back. What was really neat, before I took the thing back out to my van, Bryan sat and played it for about 45 minutes, just like getting my own personal concert. Bryan absolutely has the head, hands and heart to take care of these beautiful machines. A real blessing to have him with us in our area. Thanks, again, Bryan.

Bryan built my '74 last spring. It plays as easy and smooth as the Lashley LeGrande that I had, and is just beautiful in every way. Bryan absolutely treats you right through the whole deal. I can't say enough.
