Looks exactly like my first Webb I got from Charlie Ward Music in Asheville, NC in January of 1978. Same JBL speaker too. It was an awesome sounding amp!!!

Good luck with the sale Dave. Hope yo ...

Dan... I think what Jon Light said deserves some thought. It's not just how tall we are but, how we're built. Your guitar may need to be tailored to fit you.

Hey George... that extra pull you mention is for the "trick" tunable split on the 6th string. Tommy Cass installed it on my '69, decal, rosewood D-10 a few years back and it works perfectl ...

I'm sorry to hear about LeRoy's passing. I only met him once, probably 20+ years ago. He seemed like a good person.

My prayers and deepest sympathies go out for all of LeRoy's family and friends.

Also, these early FET 500s were high-volt not the low-volt version as denoted by the "LV" which came a bit later. "LV" models were available in large and small cabinet sizes. All ...

I agree with John Lacey. It appears to be an early FET 500 Custom from the late 70s. The original dark grill cloth has been replaced with the light colored grill cloth as seen in the photo. They ca ...

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 ...

Jack and Jerry are correct about the .010 being standard in Emmons and Sho-Bud sets of the early 70s. I used to get bunches of sets and singles from Emmons (remember the florescent lime-green packagi ...

I have that change (Bs to Bb, strings 5 & 10) on my front, LKL lever. It's a staggered lever. I've been using it there for some 45 years. The rear LKL raises Es to F. I play D-10 Emmons guitars ...

Man,,, I've always wanted a true, 60s Bolt-On like this..!! This would be very cool to have along with my '69 Rosewood D-10. If I could sell my D-10 LeGrande III I'd be headed down to NJ to see you ...

I'm saddened to hear about Billy's passing. I met him a few times back in the day when I was out grinding the road and we were doing a show in the Baton Rouge area. A super good guy..!!

We did many shows with Conway and John back in the day. John and I were both playing through early FET 500s back then.

Dean sounds great on the show. Great playing and great tone..!! That new blonde Rittenberry he's been playing on recent shows makes me want to get one that looks just like it.

Mike's an absolute monster player and a really good guy. The first ZumSteel I ever saw in person was being played by Mike when we did a show together in January 1978 with Gene Watson and The Gatlins. ...

I'm saddened to hear of Lynn's passing. I've had many, long conversations with him. What a treasure he was. A man of integrity and a sincerely nice person.

Hi Eric:

I had a D-10 SKH back in the mid-80s that Big Ron sent to me. I personally never had a timing issue with the 4-hole bell-cranks. I wish I'd kept that horn. It played and sounded great. ...

Hey John:

Thanks Ben. You're a dang good horse..!! It would be great to see you again. And yeah, I know exactly what you mean about those songs.

Hi Roger:

Just my opinion, but, of the three brands you mentioned I like the Rittenberry. The ones I've heard have a lively, mid-range growl and balanced tone that I really like.

A brand you ...
