I'm looking to adjust my A pedal on my Emmons too but to lower it a bit instead.

Do you only have to adjust the pedal at the bottom or do you have to compensate with the pedal stops etc?

Thanks guys.

Ricky, I just meant I dissassemlbed it when it was taking it to someones house then put it back up.

I don't mind the string breakage it's just the pedal stiffness that makes it uncomfor ...

Hi, I recently took down and set up my Emmons Black Rock.

I just broke the 3rd and 5th string at almost the same time. Not unusual I know but the pedals were feeling weird and I think that was the pr ...

I'm looking into these amps. I need one that I can play steel and 6-string on.

I prefer a less clean sound for the steel- not distorted just a bit more full. I know these amps are clean so I can use ...

I'm new to steel and was wondering about effects pedals. Are they essential to get the typical pedal steel sound? I've heard reverb and compression pedals are important. Should I buy them? Thanks.

Richard, do you know of anyone in the UK who can do repairs and add knee levers? Could Gerry Hogan do it?

Does that mean it is a Black Rock or it is a good guitar?

From searching on the forum I think it's a Emmons Black Rock which, I think, is a push-pull (not sure though).

Is this a good guitar, particulalry for a beginner. Is a push-pull good to start with?

I've been offered a used Emmons but want to know a bit more about it before I buy it.

The serial number is 224-BR.

Does anyone know the age of this guitar and whether it's a student model or not. It ...

Hi, I just joined and am 19 too! Haven't started playing yet though- saving my pennies.

Thanks for the replies.

Yes it was at Hanks. They had two Carter Starters, a Carter Pro S-10 and two Sierra S-12's. The starer was £100 more expensive there than at Gerry Hogan's shop in Scotland. I ...

Until yesterday I had never played a steel but I sat down at a Carter Starter.

I didn't realise that the 3rd string was the highest! Sounds stupid I know- I just always presumed they went up in incre ...

Yeh, I saw him in Glasgow recently and I was at the rail in front of his PSG and though it was turned slightly away from me I think I saw the oval thing which is the logo of Carter isn't it?

Though, ...

Hi, I just joined. I don't have a PSG yet but will do soon, hopefully.

I was wondering about the tone of Bob Dylan's steel player, Larry Campbell. It sounds quite different than anything else I've he ...
