'74 Smurf

Post by Rick Heins »

Here's my baby!! 1974 PP nicknamed "Smurf"! got it from a nice English guy in Los Angeles and just had it gone completely over by Tom Casella (who did an amazing job on it!) and it really is a keeper. I have a Mullen that is great but I now know that the push pull thing is the tone I've had in my head since I started.

‘67 Invoice number bolt on - white leather mica. I refurbed this guitar a few years ago, but just recently replaced a couple of junky knee levers with new ones from PSG parts. Finally done. Easiest playing Push pull I’ve played.

25th Anniversary Push Pull

Post by Chris Grigsby »

Emmons 1989 25th Anniversary Push Pull D-10.

As I understand it, this is one of the last five push pull guitars ever made by Emmons, and the one that Jack Strayhorn vividly recalls as the finest sounding guitar he ever heard come out of the Emmons factory.

Oh, and it has been in a case since 1991 and literally looks brand new. I've owned some amazing guitars--Emmons Legrande II, Show Pros, Mullen G2s, and one of the last Zumsteels ever made, but this is the best sounding and easiest playing guitar I've ever played.

More info on this amazing guitar can be found here: https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtop ... 989+emmons
