The Steel Guitar Forum

The one I just received from Lynn Stafford! She's a beauty! Sounds great too!

lynn..ok..i get it now. thanx.

ray..thnx for the link.

I am so glad I finally got smart enough to go back to PP guitars. Here's the one I got here on the forum a while back...My wife is so jealous of this thing...

Here is mine and it sounds as good as it looks

Here is one of mine.

since I hardly ever get on the Forum anymore I'm a little late for the party, but anyway heres my brewd of Emmons guitars. Still love all of them, and wouldn't be happy with anything else.

Here is the picture of my guitar. Plays and sounds like a classic emmons should.

Man, Jim, it still looks great!!! I miss her!! LOVE that two tone! Bob

Two of my PP's ( revised 4/24/20 )


1973 Lacquer D 10 PP. "Ruby" (completely restored by Mike Scaggs) This was originally a green mica guitar in poor condition. Mike removed the mica and installed tiger stripe veneer. The underneath is red flocked. The workmanship is outstanding.








1967 D 10. (Professionally restored by former owner, Charlie McVay.) I purchased this guitar 27 years ago and it was my main guitar for many years. It's still in beautiful condition.

here is mine...1974 Fatback

does anyone know what year the spacing between pedals got narrowed down on push pulls?

i'm assuming somewhere in the early 70s, but when?

Chris, yep...you're in the ballpark there. I'm thinking around '72 - '73 is when they started installing 9 or more pedals with the 2 3/8" spacing (if folks wanted extra pedals). But I think they still used the wide cast pedals until about '74 or '75. After that, they went to the narrow cast pedals. I used to own a '65 bolt-on that came with 9 pedals (with 2 1/2" spacing) and I currently own a '64 wraparound that is very the same way....and I've seen photos of other very early guitars like this as well.

thanx lynn.

My 1974 pictured above has the wide pedals....Mine was built in January of 1974 according to Emmons.

Heres "Blonde" She is still my best one..... but the other two arn`t too shabby either.... and you know I have a Black one.... you have to have a Black one

From what I've read here on the forum,3 push pulls = 1 Franklin
Isn't that the gospel truth if I read it right here on the forum ? LOL

66 Wraparound - Bill Keith

EMMONS!...EMMONS!...EMMONS!... gota get me one soon. Push pull that is!!!

Talk about pedal spacing, I have a p/p guitar that Doug Jernigan once owned and played. It has 11 foot pedals. I don't know what the pedal spacing is but it has to be close to make room for all those pedals.

Tab you have one really great PP there, good to see you and IT the other day.

Crowbear .... I'd love to hear how you came across Bill Keith's guitar. I remember seeing that guitar in Winnie Winston's book way back when I first started playing. Is Bill still playing steel or just banjo?

Jim

Jim H, Bill sold that wraparound when he came to France in the mid 70s
it stayed there since & was'nt really played that much
it has recently made it back to the good Ol'

I kinda like this one A lot!! Sounds like an Emmons should. If I ever come into some extra $$$ a
pushpull will be next.

Hey Skip Edwards!
Thank you for posting a picture of my Basket Weave Emmons. I wouldn't have any idea how to do that. I'm lucky I can even type a post with one finger.
