I am looking for a reputable, still-in-business person to restore an Emmons guitar.

Billy Knowles at Steel Guitar East. He’s on the forum and will do a fabulous job for you. One of the nicest gentleman you’ll meet, don’t hesitate to get a hold of him.

Thanks, Tony. We've finally moved in to our new home and I now have my new workshop organized enough to work on guitars again. I had to take an eight month hiatus during the construction process!
Best regards,
Lynn Stafford

All great suggestions but I’d send it to Clem Schmitz, especially if it’s a push pull. freedomsauce@comcast.net
