OK, Forumites, Dad gave me the name 80 years ago, guess I'll keep it
Hey Herbie, Sorry we did not get back with you sooner... We were trying to research the serial number for you....This PSG was built 12-16-1971 was sold to Dean Markley Music, originally had 6 pedals and no knees... Well the rest of the information you already have : ) Hope this helps... Keep in touch, oh by the way the Limited Re-issued Push Pulls we are making sell for $3481.43 This is for the S-10 Push Pull A-3-4 with case....

Kind regards

Subject: S 10 PP Year madel

My Emmons, S- 10 PP Black , six pedals, 2 knee levers. adjustable legs
Serial number , 1200 S , is all I can see underneath
I've played it for over 30 years , one to six nights a week, Retired now.

I would like to know what year model it is

Dean Markley, from Santa Clara, CA, ordered it, early 1970's for me, They poulled it off the line, as they were months behind filling orders.
and shipped it, Air Freight, over night, as I was on tour, and needed it, Like "Yesterday"

Thanks in advance for the info

Here's my 2000 Carter. It's not as sexy as the lacquer beauties but I'm fond of it.

And this old Sho~Bud with six pedals and no knee levers was my first steel. Who knew about knee levers?! I wish I had it back for John Coop to work his magic on.

Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish. Available at Wal-Mart in automotive. Best polish on the planet. Much less work than Simichrome.

Jagwire makes a great little endplate/pedalboard polish. A little goes a long way.

I am using Autosol on my project. This was on recommendation from several builders. I must say that it is the best polish, far better than never-dull. A little polishing produces wonders. And a tube goes a long way...it will be more than what I need for this project.

I use 'Mother's' aluminum polish too, and now it comes in liquid form which is handier than a pocket in a shirt. Good stuff.

One ZB Custom SD-10 a la Billy Knowles and one Fulawka S-12 compliments of Stephen Dorocke. Both sound the best...

Hey Mike Black,

I thought you'd just taken a picture of the back room at Bobbe Seymour's shop!

I'd post a picture of my Carter, but I'd rather wait until I get my pawn shop custom model finished. Should have it done by the time we achieve world peace. :?

Jim Eaton's guitar reminds me of my old Gibson Firebird.
Anything that has that color has that tone and plays like it looks.
