I saw this on the Emmons website. Anyone know anything about this guitar, or whether they are making the push pull again?

I bought this new p/p from Ron a couple of years ago.

Thanks Erv. How would you say it compares to the older push pulls? Has anyone else had any experience with these new Emmons push pulls, and what are your opinions. Thanks.

Mike,
I have a couple of these D-10 new/old push/pulls.
The cabinets were made by Ron Sr. and are 30 years old but everything else is brand new. They have the newer style p/p pedals like the LeGrandes. They are the standard 8 x 4 but Ron said he would set them up any which way I wanted.

If they did any marketing at all, they could probably sell a lot of those.

Mike,
The natural is a better looking guitar close up.
The last one's finish is showing its age somewhat.

Jim,
I don't think they have too many of these to sell. The way I heard it, they were scrounging around in the basement and came across these old cabinets and Ron decided to build up some p/p's. They don't advertise it, but I believe they still have a lot of p/p parts in stock and can get more made up, if need be. When I got these guitars, I think they only had one or two D-10 cabinets left.
I don't know about their stock of singles.

Mike,

I happen to own that guitar in the photo you took off the Emmons web site! That was the very first PP reissue and was shown (and played by Larry Sasser) at the St Louis convention in 2004. I also own the first D10 PP reissue (#001) that was built for someone that saw the S10 there at the convention. I won it on eBay a couple years ago!! It's a Wineberry lacquer body and looks just like Erv's guitar.

And I have reissue #004, which is a D10, 8x8, and sounds great !
