Bryan sure does great work. I need to get him to go thru my JCH and he's a great player too!

Bryan built my first push pull, a black D10 in 1981 and I still have it. He is a great builder and equally as good player. He sent me a copy of an album he had made and he played great on it. He also included a live tape of him playing with Ava Barber of the Lawrence Welk show so he has been there. Great guy!

Guys, thanks for your nice comments about the Emmons.
This Emmons sounds as good as it looks.
It is the best "fitting" Emmons I have ever had. Bryan took the time to place the knees where I wanted them and adjust the foot pedals to give me the "feel" that I wanted. I am very happy with the guitar. It is a 7 x 5 with 18.5 K Emmons Single Coil pick ups.
