Herb,
Thank you so much for your voice of reason.
All the guitars and equipment I will leave behind when the good Lord calls me home will go to my grandchildren. I have a trust set up for them.
Like Herb mentioned, I have been associated with the steel guitar for approx. 57 years now. I have had ample time to accumulate some instruments.
If you think that owning 8 Emmons guitars is obscene, then I'll really expose myself to ridicule by telling you that over the last year or so, I have sold 6 Emmons p/p's. At one time I owned 12 p/p's. Let the flaming begin!
I guess if I could walk on water I would still be critized because I Have not chosen to cast dispersions in the Lashley's direction. So be it.

Leaving a trust for grandchildren

Owning 12 EMMONS P/P

Being a loyal customer and not"casting dispersions"

Casting "dispersion"against someone elses "agony/mis-fortune" whether they be Italian or Martian

Too bad you couldn't show the same amount of grace and respect for fellow forum members as you do for the Lashleys.

I started out by complimenting your dedication to your grandchildren/your years of "steeling"/customer loyalty....

but, your humanity

.....you'll have to figure out on your own.

See that's how things get started. Good product,customer loyalty,good name........

customer service

My point.....

Just my opinion...guess I couldn't miss a good ol' hoss floggin'--should've tho

Herb,
I don't know what you are talking about. There was no vail at all on my feelings about Erv's 8 Emmons guitars. It is ridiculous and I didn't single out Erv. He mentioned he has 8 Emmons guitars.

What on earth did I say that reflected badly on Buddy Emmons? I remember saying I thought the Emmons guitar company would survive through this mess on his good name along because that's how much people love Buddy. I still believe that. What problem could you possibly have with that? Don

Do the words of all those gospel hymns mean nothing to you? Why not join us and try and help a fellow steel player.

Paraphrase, Why do you even bother to tab hymns? Why not try and help a fellow steel player from a morale and practical way?

Herb and Cal,
You two scoundrels had me there for a minute. To my surprise,there really is such a thing as a Bulgarian Widget.
By the way, my son and I collect pocket knives, antique tin toys and license plates. If I could afford to and had room, I would collect pedal steel guitars. One of every brand and color. I've got a good start on Show Pro steels

Brian,
Since you have elected yourself moral judge and jury in this matter what do you suggest I do?
I'm just an old sinner saved by grace but I'm always willing to accept correction from a person more spiritual and santified than myself.

Don
Regarding the Buddy Emmons quote, obviously a misinterpretation on my part. You have my apologies for my mistake.
