1969 Emmons Push-Pull
Posted: 24 Jan 2014 12:08 pm
I started looking for another 60's Emmons Push-Pull last September (see link if you're interested). Tommy Wayne (Las Vegas Forumite) responded with information on this 1969 Push-Pull fat-back, cut-tail that he owned. Tommy is a super good guy and a pleasure to talk to.
Long story, short...we finally agreed on the deal just before Christmas. This guitar started out life with 9 floor pedals and 6 knee levers, from the factory. Tommy acquired the guitar in 2005 from the original owner, a well-known Nashville player.
All original, never revised, reworked or added to, in any way...it is practically new and has very little playing time on it.
The great Rick Price (Texas) did a great job cleaning, lubing and revising the set-up for me. It is now 8 floor pedals and 4 knee levers...and considerably lighter. Rick is a super PP mechanic!
Factory-original pickups are wound 16.5 an 17.5 and the tone is incredible! I've gigged it several times now and it is awesome.
I love this Forum.
