Emmons push pull legs & fretboards

[Karl Nutt]

Hi guys, does anybody know where I can find a set (4) of legs for my Emmons push pull that are 1” LONGER than stock? Also, I need both fretboards for the same guitar. I’d like to find the original metal boards. Silver or white doesn’t matter. Thank you for any help you can provide! Karl

Check with Emmons . There fretboards are exactly like the original metal fret boards except that they are measured correctly. The originals were off by a bit.

I have Emmons OEM metal fret boards, no legs.

Karl,

Instead of buying new legs, I think most taller guys just use "extenders" to extend the legs and pedal rods with a total cost of about $10.
Much less expensive than buying new custom-fit guitar legs.

To extend the legs on my Emmons, I bought a 6" length of gray 1" outside-diameter PVC pipe from a hardware store and cut two 1"-long pieces to keep the pedalboard in position on the front legs after I extended them both by 1". (If you're concerned about looks, you can use chromed metal pipe instead of PVC.)
Then, I simply extended the back legs 1" to match the front legs.

To extend the pedal rods, I happened to have had some 1" long aluminum "printed circuit board hex standoffs" (for use inside a PC desktop computer) that fit the Emmons pedal rods perfectly.



Years ago, someone posted on the SGF that Emmons pedal rod threads are 10-32. I'd suggest checking the threads on your pedal rods to confirm the thread size before ordering the PCB standoffs.

Aluminum "PCB standoffs" are available online for less than $1 each.

Hi Dave!
I’ve actually made spacers to go between the pedal bar and leg clutch. I used aluminum tubing, and even polished it with simichrome polish to make it look like the chrome legs. It worked great. However, my other 2 Emmons guitars have the 1” longer legs and I really like the stock look (no spacers). I do however appreciate the tip!
