Depends on who you ask.
People usually think THEIRS sounds best.
I've listened hard to them all and I think it's more the particular guitar than the design.
All push-pulls (or most at any rate) share a midrange clarity that few modern guitars can produce.
I love 'em all.

I thought that was the case. I have never played
an all-pull Emmons and "They say" that they sound
almost as good as the push-pull. |

I owned a LL III that was an excellent guitar. I have also owned a Derby, a Rains, a Zum, a Sho-Bud and probably others. ALL the modern pull guitars mentioned above were keepers; I just couldn't keep them all. I now own a 1966 D-10 Bolt-on with 8 X 10. More machine than I'll ever learn to drive!!! I can honestly tell you that nothing sounds like a GOOD PP. These guitars really do sound and feel different than an all pull PSG. Personally, I guarantee that I can hear the difference between a PP and an all pull guitar. AND, I love them both.
As far as which one is best, it's simple...mine is!!!
I was extremely lucky to come across this one. You owe it to yourself to try one for a while. One things for sure, you won't have a problem selling it. |
