I believe the Emmons Guitar Co. called that mica color "Walnut." It's a cool horn.

Good luck with your sale Damir.

Thanks Leigh. Snap backs are good for me. It'll be cool when I'm out on the boat fishing and cool on some outdoor gigs too. I'll be in touch.

Hats look cool. A question,,, are the hats a snap-back, adjustable type or something else ?? I need a big hat. I can never have too many hats for when I go out fishing on the bass-boat. Thanks !!

I'll add my big, thumbs up for Tommy as well. A great craftsman and a great guy. Tommy had John Macy's '69 and my '69 at his shop at the same time last year. Interestingly, the guitars are just fou ...
