My customer, Barrett Williams asked me to post some photos of his '67 Emmons S-10, before and after the restoration that I just finished.
As you can see in the "before" photos right below, it was in pretty rough shape when I received it. There were lots of issues but I won't go in details here. I'm sure you'll notice the Sho-Bud tear-drop knee levers that someone in its past had crudely installed 
Here is what it looks like after the restoration. All bright aluminum professionally polished, new factory Emmons knee levers installed, pedals stripped, wrinkle painted and moved to their proper position, etc.
I just shipped the guitar off to Barrett today, so In about a week I hope to hear that he's happy with it. I played it this morning, right before I packed it up and it sounds fantastic
