Had an Emmons D10. On a gig broke one of the hooks between the rod and the finger. Had to borrow one from the C6 neck to continue on. Ordered 5 from Emmons Co. Never broke another. You need to know how to fix 'em, toooooo. Complete disassembly and reassembly really not necessary, just maintain tooooooo. I spel purty gud. Possum talk. Saw a guy playin a Sho-Bud. Told him his picks were wrong, right hand technique was wrong, pumped his "a" pedal toooo much, amp was wrong, volume pedal was scratchy and old, bar was wrong(tooo thin toooo thick tooooo short tooooo long), guitar was an ugly green, and his tone sounded like muddy sewer water,tooooo. He said, "Let's take it outside." We went to the parking lot. He swung at me, and I hit him over the head with a Goodrich 120. End of story, I was right. I know my stuff, tooooooooo. |

The problem with playing pedal steel: my setup doesn't work for this song; I can fix that.... but first I have to clean off the workbench--hmmm, how can I rebuild it so I can mount the guitar on it and flip it over?
Then you end up rewiring the shop. Song?Too bad we can't recall those dream details. But you've got me thinking again, Farris.... slide it right into a cradle on the bench, clamp it down, turn it over.... | |
