Great looking Guitar.

The steel looks great. I wonder if it has the legendary tone of a push-pull. Does the site list the price of the new guitars? |

Yes it does have the price. I have not heard a NEW P/P, so I can't say if it has that sound or not?

I remember a post not long ago that some one mentioned Emmons building push-pull guitars again. |

I wish Emmons would go with the polished knee levers like Franklin,Zum and couple other of the top of the line guitars have.Those painted knee's just look cheap to me.They really stink on a PP.Just my opinion of course..............bb |

These guitars look beautiful. Does this mean that there will be Push Pull parts like bellcranks, changer fingers and knee lever kits available again? |

Chuck..
yes indeed..you have the right guy..we've been friends for years..I have bought quite a few steels from him..over the years. He's a great guy..and lucky enough to have had..more steels guitars than I could ever dream of.
Incidently..I heard last night..the steel is no longer on the web page..so, if that is true..I would assume that somebody has grabbed it. |

What I'm thinking is with the exception of Bobbe's bell cranks all the parts available from him and anyone else are scavenged from other guitars. It would be nice if the parts were again being produced even if only in a small volume. |

When I get back on my feet, I want a new Push-Pull that is black. I will have one to match my Emmons LeGrande III. Those are two great looking guitars. |

That guitar looks fantastic . Just like the one I got in 78. More power to Emmons they made the sound of the steel . OK there were a few good players then also . Maybe the best |

Richard and Nick are we saying the D-10 guitar you guys are discussing and showing is a newly built guitar recently coming from the Emmons factory, or is it a an older guitar that someone has kept in the back room or under the bed,and that is in like new condition Emmons Co does not show a similar product on the web site. The finsh, while beautiful, appears to be one of their color combinations from 15 or 20 years ago. Little confusing. |

Louie, the guitar appears to be a new one to me. a few distinct things that stand out to me are the newer Legrande type pedals. The push-pulls of the 1980's had the same pedals,but were anodized black. also came with Kluson tuners. The tuners in the picture appear to be possibly Sperzels. also, the Emmons logo appears to be the newer plastic logo.
A combination of new and old parts? who knows, but the guitar does appear to be a new one to me |

These guitars are NEW built from parts that Ron Lashley Jr. has "found" laying around te plant. I played the single 10 guitar in Stl Louis. It plays well and sounds good. It's a genuine PP guitar. Ron told me he found enough D12 endplates to make 2 or 3 guitars. Go Ron.

Dyke, I stand corrected. What year is your guitar? has to be a pretty late guitar. my guitar is a 1981 push-pull |

Jack I'm not sure of the exact year, it's over at a local Opry building so I won't have the ser# until Saturday. I got this through Mike Cass and I believe he said early 80s. The Mini Grovers were well known for the threads going bad, I got a new set from Ron Jr. a few months ago. It's one of my favorite guitars, it sounds and plays great. |

it looks like there is something missing at the end or beginning from the changer
just between te necks
normally by a all pull guitar you will have there the split tuners but if i look good at this double ten i see nothing there not even a bracket or so.cor  |

Ronald,
I've heard the price for that D-10 is $3500. Not bad! Also remember, both of these new P/P re-issues have laquer bodies. That's a option that Emmons usually gets $700 more for than the standard gloss mica. I did see and play that S-10 Roger posted when Ronnie broght it to St. Louis. It's a JEWEL. . .and I can tell you that with only just a few minor adjustments by a skilled pro like Bryan Adams would make it absolutely perfect. Here's my black '66 & Rosewood '71 that I'm mighty proud of:  Nick[This message was edited by Nick Reed on 14 December 2004 at 10:31 PM.] |

Nick, since you have played the Emmons S-10 P/P re-issue....how did it compare to to your P/P's, as far as Tone and Pedal action is concerned?
By the way, Nice looking Emmons Guitars you have there! Happy Holidays to you.  |

Since this topic has become more of a discussion about the guitar, than an announcement, I'm moving it to the "Pedal Steel" section. |
