Is this guitar built from some existing parts along with new machined parts or is everything from the ground up? If from the ground up the guitar must cost a fortune. Can you legally put Emmons decals on it and call it an Emmons?
Looks beautiful so far!!! |

| Bruce,guitar is built from the ground up and from the best materials available.Better than any other guitar I know.It does costs a fortune.My guess would be around 5K with case and shipping from Europe.It`s not an Emmons even tho it is made by Emmons specifications.There is no Emmons logo on the guitars.this guitars are custom hand made and better then mass production guitars. |

fret board is your choice and my pick was Emmons fret board since it is a push pull after all.

Damir, is there a link to a topic where you discuss this project in more detail?
I seem to have missed it.
Anyway, it will be amazing.

| Thanks for a kind words guys.I had to sell my Sho~Bud to get some cash for this one but I hope it will be worth it.I never placed the order ,this guitar was in the proces of making when I contacted the bilder.It takes awhile to get one of these because,like I said before,everything is done by hand and out of the best materials out there.There was only 7 guitars built in the last 17 years and they all play fantastic and sound as push pull should.OPnce I get my guitar here I will let everyone interested try it for himself,I know you`ll love it but I can`t tell you anything about the waiting period or prices on the guitars right now because I don`t know myself.This guitar will cost me after everyhing is payed ,over 4K tho. |

| If this steel is going to be no different than a regular push-pull, why not save some dollars and buy a good used model? Does the new version hold it's value? It might depreciate alarmingly if it hasn't got an Emmons logo. |

Richard,
it doesn`t have an Emmons logo because it is NOT an Emmons.Some things are changed in the mechanism itself also. |

Hi Jim,
you bet,I remember some years back when I played one of this guitars it sounded amazing to me.I`m sure with the new TT pick ups will sound even better.Crowbear,it is not an Emmons,it is a 100% hand made custom pedal steel guitar that uses a push pull (simular to Emmons)system.Does it means if its not an Emmons it`s not a pedal steel?[This message was edited by Damir Besic on 09 February 2004 at 07:02 PM.] |
