When it comes to Emmons guitars, I usually stuck with the single coil it came with. :D

I really like the standard Emmons Humbucker. I'm having a 108 type built by Scott at https://www.steeltronics.com/.

I pulled the single coils and replaced them with GLs , E66 on the front and 10-1 on the rear. SC's are great, until they are not ! Add that we don't know when they are going to give us more NOISE than music :D
Emmons L-II , Fender Telecasters, B-Benders
Pro Tools 8 and Pro Tools 12
