Patrick Timmims in Seattle would be a great resource.

Nick,

The third row of screws harks back to 1964 while the Emmons guitar was still being developed, and the intent was indeed meant to enable split tuning. We do use the hardware for splits, as wel ...

Andrew,
There's no need to "modernize" the undercarriage for it to work as it was designed, Lloyd Green and a lot of other famous players worked them on the road for years. With a good setu ...

We are in Sevierville, TN, we can definitely get you taken care of.

Pictures would greatly help in assessing its age and value, although the 24 fret board should make it no later than mid 65.

The screw itself is an 8-32 thread, 3/16" long or 1/8". The hex socket is 5/64".

Hey everybody

Would someone happen to have a green bridge/keyhead cover for a 6 string Multi-Kord they'd be willing to part with?

It's a scam.

Daniel,

The serials for those basically tell you nothing about the date, the best way to determine a general date of manufacture is by its features. If it has narrow cast pedals it is post 1974, if ...

Having worked on steels of all different designs and vintages, it seems the mild grooving present on all changer fingers produces no negative affects. There are exceptions of course, but I have handle ...

Roger,
It is 8-32. One 3/8 or 1/2 long should do it, available at any hardware store.

... Slick 50 is good lubrication for reassembly.
Kelcey,

Do you also use Slick 50 to lubricate the roller nuts and roller nut axle, or do you use something else?

Spencer,

If you need a replacement, it is a 6-32 thread and 1 inch long, and can be had at any hardware store. Most came from the factory with a threadlocker on them, for just one you can borrow yo ...

Use a 0.012" string.

Got you covered, can ship in the morning.

It's a factory SD10, no changer cutout on the C6 deck and no neck screws either. Emmons SD10's came with a D10 endplate because they were cast that way. Someone has clearly tinkered with the knee leve ...

Loctite is the last thing you want to use, it will no longer be a roller nut! Although it shouldn't rattle, being new really has nothing to do with it because it would take decades to wear them out, i ...

That guitar would not have had any knee levers originally, however it was very common for factory setups to not have a stop for that lever. You can add a stop of some kind if you want, but there is no ...

1967. The springs are original, and were used through 68 or so.

Dave,
The barrels work great if properly adjusted, and overall the two hole pullers are smoother in operation than the racks. Most of the issues arise from folks not knowing to engage the pedal or le ...

That is indeed a 1967 Bolt On. The important stuff like the pickups appear original, even the case, but the fretboards have definitely been replaced. Not sure about the two tone mica, it is possible a ...

The raise finger doesn't contact the lower finger when raised, it contacts the body of the guitar. With the pedal engaged, you shouldn't be able to press it forward any further.

Definitely a Permanent.

Roger,
Here is another brief history from a slightly different perspective concerning the history of the company.

A short Emmons history...

The Emmons guitar began in the early 60's, as a culmi ...
