That is an Emmons Push Pull changer and someone else's pedal rack and legs. The end plates look like they be from the same someone else.

| I called this guy last week (after seeing an ad online in the old hometown Oklahoma City newspaper classifieds and hoping to take a look during a family visit next month) and assumed it was a later (short--no horns, no fins) late '70s model. He couldn't find a serial number, which I thought a bit odd, but now that I actually see the thing, I can relax. It'd be nice to have the volume pedal, but the steel looks like Home Brew all the way. And a real player oughta have the Evans amp. |

Kevin Hatten is correct, homemade Frankensteel.

Bobbe,
Isn't that a Bigsby cabinet, endplates, legs and pedals mounted on an unknown pedal bar? Maybe the fret board is Bigsby? Maybe the end plate on the changer end is drilled out for the
tuners? [This message was edited by Colby Tipton on 14 July 2006 at 11:40 PM.] |

Sonny, that reminds me of Blanton bellcranks too. I had one once and the pedal changes were tuned right on the bellcranks but it didn't have any holes on the endplate. It looks like the guitar was made with parts from more than one brand of steel..........JH in Va.
