hi jim....that looks like a great old good one from the magic era. interesting that the atom symbols have a white one and not a bluish one.
and of course the emmons decal era is neat.
i bet you'd get your buddy emmons on if 'you' were playing it! |

On the original run of the gloss black fretboards, the atom symbol color was more turquoise than blue, and always faded to a near greeish-white. I've owned quite a few guitars of this vintage and pretty much all had that characteristic.
It's cool to be original, but for stage purposes I prefer the newer satin black 'boards to the high gloss, way less glare off stage lights.
That's a really cool axe, there. It almost screams "I sound good."

Here is the set up work I did for Jim a few months ago:
I corrected lowering problems on the E9 neck. I re-tuned the E9 changer. I set and timed the pedal stops correctly. I lightly cleaned and lubed the E9 changer and roller nuts. I corrected offending changer spring issues and the worst E9 rodding issues. I set the neck screw torque values, and headstock torque values. E9 tune-ability issues were corrected.
It was a repair and partial set up.. A complete custom set up would involve both necks and many other procedures. Worth doing for sure.

| Just curious, are there four small holes in the rear apron and if so, what are they for? |

The holes were from screws that were too long. It was done by Duane Mars who added either two or three knees.A rare mistake for sure. They don't hurt anything.
I played this guitar for years and it's a good one. I traded it to a friend who traded me back my 70 PP which I played all the years I was on the road. I just want my old friend back who was with me in a lot of memories.
Emmons set up all original except for the added knee's.
Bryan....Sorry about having to cancel |

Someone needs to buy this Emmons. Jimmy is getting too old to carry it around and I don't want to see him get hurt or he'll start whining and complaining.
It is a nice guitar and when John Widgren worked on it, it got better yet. |
