Sounds great Johnny!

I’m looking forward to it and practicing my chop. 🤠

Ben, everything looks correct. I’m out of town for a couple of weeks. I’m playing the Georgia Peach Jam in Conyers Sunday then doing some “coddiwompling” to the outer banks in NC. When I get b ...

My split tuning is only on the 10th string, back to B, and the 5th string, to a C. The 6th string is tuned out and 2 and 9 are strictly for balancing the half stop for the 2nd string.

My setup is standard Emmons with two exceptions. RKL lowers 6 and 9 a half tone, and RKR lowers 2 a half and whole, 9 a half, and 10 a whole. For the RKR I don’t use the 10th lower very much for the ...

Sometime in the early 80’s when I was still in Tulsa I met with Mel and considered the job. This was when he was first putting together a band based out of Oklahoma. The first steel player in that b ...

Kind reminds me of the Mark Twain quote.

A guitar tech would need a tetanus shot to change my strings. 🤔

I’m looking forward to hanging out and seeing everyone again. Also thanks for making a spot for me. I’ll practice and put new strings on, promise. 🤠

Yes it’s veneer. Very clear rock maple underneath.

Hey Rob, I hadn’t considered that I but it should work.

Hey Rob. No, my RKL will lower 6 and 9 a half. I don’t lower 6 a whole tone on any of my guitars. Something I started doing when I got my first push pull guitar. When I got to really looking at how ...

Iâ€™ve been working on restoring an old S-10 Emmons guitar. My buddy Mike Scaggs has been the â€œchief cook and bottle washerâ€ so to speak in this project. Iâ€™ve worked on old pus ...

Here’s my S-10 Zum. It’s not a Stage One or an Encore but a one of a kind Hybrid. However it is built using the same end plates.
It’s a special guitar for sure.

To me the large dia has a better bass response. It doesnâ€™t lose any highs either. Of course this really only applies to that first cable from your guitar to the volume pedal. Bill, have you tri ...

Maybe I treat my cables with kid gloves so to speak, but Iâ€™ve only had a couple of failures with George Lâ€™s over the years. All they required was a quick snip and then reinsert to repair ...

It is an early model too. He changed them after the first year or so to where the pickup is enclosed in an extruded block, as they are now.

Oh, no new albums for me. My closets are already too full of past projects. 🤔

Buddy was a die hard Yankees fan. He would say the players of today did their magic with steroids and such, where as the “Babe” did his with hot dogs and beer. 🤠 He loved the history of the Ya ...

Hi Larry, you can do that but that's only one example and you'd still need to raise string 5 half by half pedaling or splitting the raise with the B's lowered. You can get tangled up and out of posit ...
