I just got through putting new (John Pearse) strings on all 4 of my Emmons Steels. Got em all tuned up and ready to go. Talk about sweet, boy they all sound great but my black '66 D-10 has the tone to die for. BTW, it's my favorite of the brewd. Hope all you guys have a Merry Christmas and are as proud of your guitars as I am mine. Nick

Keep up the good work, Nick. Yer makin' me look good! I only have one steel--a black 1993 Emmons LeGrande II, one amp and one seat. Am I deprived, or what?
Merry Christmas to you.

I've got three steels, but only one set of strings (that I bought secondhand) so, if I feel like playing my ZB, I have to take the strings off my Emmons (or my Denley) and put them on the ZB.
The problem is that with the Emmons having a longer scale length, the strings don't 'nest' on the nut rollers of the other two steels, which fortuously lends a strange (but pleasing) harmonic when the strings are picked. |

Nick,
Would love to sit behind each one for a test drive...a FINE looking bunch...I've only had my hand on one Push/Pull E in my life and I was just a kid without a clue to what "tone" was at time time...still not too sure!  Merry Christmas & Happy 2008! Carl |

Nick, I've owned 7 Emmons guitars and loved every one and wish I had them back, especially the P/P's. I currently own a 71 black P/P and a 2005 black Rains which are both very fine guitars and sound real close. I envy you for having so many beautiful Emmons. Have a Happy New Year.

Hey Nick,
I know what you mean. There's nothing quite like playing a push-pull. Your love of your Emmons is great to see. Your '66 looks really sweet. I would love to see detailed photos of the undercarrriage, next time you get the whim to show that gem off. |

Doug,
I know you are now playing the S-10 Emmons most of the time (she's a beauty). But did you get rid of the D-10 you did have? Nick |
