New Emmons Push-Pull Parts Supplier

Because of the scarcity of Emmons push-pull parts, and the fact that we have been receiving hundreds of orders for bell cranks, L brackets, 1/8 collars, etc. we have decided to contract an aerospace machine shop to remanufacture all of the push-pull parts that are presently unobtainable. The bellcranks should be ready for delivery in thirty days. This new availability of the parts will insure the future of this most wonderful of classics. The value of these guitars is continuing to rise disproportionatly to the present market values of other guitars. Rest assured that you will be able to service your classic forever.

Great news, Bobbe! Will they be made of space age plastic and cost three times that of the original parts?

No Frank, I'm going to hold the price down and make the quality even better. You guys that have the great taste to play the greatest, deserve to have the service to match. You are one of those guys Frank, Thank you.

And here I have been working with the Bass Brothers to corner the market on bellcranks, keyheads, cross shafts and necks. Now I guess I need to rethink my retirement plans.

Bobbe, does this mean that repairmen such as myself, Mike Cass, Duane Marrs and many others can purchase Emmons parts from you to work on our customer's guitars? If so this is a wonderful thing. And with your expertise, will you also make those hard to find Sho-Bud parts available.

Johnny Cox, yes, I prefer to sell to pro repairmen such as yourself and those you mentioned. However, anyone that needs, will have.
Paul Warnick and others,I thank you for your support and friendship. The prices will reflect this appreciation also.
Your friend,

Now understand one thing guys, We aren't going to manufacture four different styles and colors of knee levers, two different thicknesses of belcranks, two different types of fretboards etc, just one of each part that will work on ALL Emmons Push-Pull guitars. So don't call up and say, I want the 1966 style knee lever stem in polished aluminum after I have 200 '73 black anodized knee stems made up for stock. See what I mean? The parts will be perfect to make your guitars work perfectly, and look like they should. The parts we'll mfg. will be of the most common Emmons parts varity. Any thing special will be priced as a custom job. But any type part is possible for the right price.
