Uhh, is Emmons back?
Is this fake? Or could the legendary/ground breaking pioneers of the Emmons steel be coming back? Did I miss something?

If you succeed in cheating someone, don't think that the person is a fool. It's just that the person trusted you far more than you deserved.

So I have to wonder, who is reviving this company and if they are capable of actually building an original PushPull Emmons?
If this is true, it sure makes me happy.

Under new management. These guys are push-pull fanatics. It's taking them a while to get it started because they want to do everything right. I imagine that the first guitars they make will be faithful recreations of the original Emmons design.

I had a long talk with Kelcey a couple nights ago, discussing many aspects of the project. I am convinced of his sincerity and perseverance and I'm sure they will come up with a great guitar.
My rig: Infinity and Telonics.

I wouldn't be surprised to see then offer a Bolt-On option down the line. After all, it takes the same neck, just with the base for the changer posts milled flat.Patrick Huey wrote:They are only making wrap around currentlyJack Stoner wrote:For those that covet a bolt on, this is great news.
