Emmons P/P # 1017

Tommy Cass · Post by **Tommy Cass** » 4 Nov 2006 11:23 am

I just finished this Emmons P/P and it is going out to Matt Elsen of Portland Oregon.
This is one of the best sounding P/P's I have heard. Congratulations, Matt and many thanks. Tom

Do you buff out the top of the necks near the
pickups or are they "jeweled" as they were originally?

Jay... they are buffed out. I can do jeweled if requested.

John... thanks for the kind words.

TC,
I'm sure it's a great sounding guitar, cause it's a bolt-on! NR

Just two #'s away from my black D-10 #1019D
These are great guitars despite all the negative flap about the bolt on changers

Tommy - it's gorgeous, it's amazing what you've done. You're an absolute genius.

Now how on earth am I going to sneak this one into the house?

Tommy If you can play half as good as that Steel Looks you must be a Monster? Keep up the great work . Randy Gilliam. hello Kenny Forbes.

Gerald Menke · Post by **Gerald Menke** » 15 Nov 2006 1:14 pm

Tommy you maniac, you've done it again. I daresay that steel looks better than it did when it left the factory. Your handiwork is truly a sight to behold! Beautiful, beautiful.

Hi Tommy, The guitar looks beautiful, did you replace the formica? Thanks. ..jeff

Larry Chung · Post by **Larry Chung** » 15 Nov 2006 4:43 pm

Beautiful work, Tommy.

I'm curious - are you related to Mike Cass in Tennessee?

Or is it just coincidental that both of you do amazing work on Emmons guitars???

What does this have to do with ZBs? Hee hee. (;

ZBest,
Larry

Excellent Tom!

I saw this guitar a few weeks ago at Tom's shop and believe me, it's a jewel. It sparkles more in person than in the pictures!

Not all push/pulls are created equal, and if you ever find a great sounding one like this... keep it! Congratulations Matt.

I’ll jump in here and answer for Tom... no relation, it’s pure coincidence.
