I am glad to post a couple photos.

My Emmons is from the mid-1960's and is very primitive compared to my Sierra. So I am not currently an Emmons lover as the topic implies.

But to be fair the Sierra is 15+ years newer and a far more modern design.

This one has a chipboard case too. Not much of a case for such a heavy guitar.

Hey Eugene
I have a couple of S-10 bolt-on Emmonses, including one identical to yours, 6 pedals/no levers. Mine are consecutive 1042S and 1043S. What's the serial number on your guitar, for the list I've compiled of older Emmons guitars. If you want to contact me by PM or email, that's okay also.
My rig: Infinity and Telonics.

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?

Hey Roger.

WOW!!!

Is your Emmons all original, or did you have it restored at some point? Beautiful!

Never restored - 18 years old next month.

I think, though, that it's just a good photograph. It does have a couple of battle scars.

Here's one that I'm very blessed to own. It's a 1973 that Mike Skaggs did an incredible rebuild on.
