| Just picked up an old bowling ball finish Emmons student model S10 3_1. How do you adjust pedals? Also, where can I get a new fretboard? This thing in rough shape but sounds amazing. Traded Cv50s tele for it. Dont need two teles. Any help will be much appreciated. |

What do you mean by adjusting the pedals?
Pedal height is adjustable by loosening the locknut on the pedal rods and twisting the fitting.
There's a sticky thread on tuning push-pull guitars. If by "adjusting" you mean tuning, read it. They're way different than an all-pull guitar.

| Yes, tuning. Tuning the pedals. I figured out somewhat. Have managed to tune 2 of them partialy. Will look for that thread. What about new legs and fretboard? Is Emmons site reliable, or is there somewhere else? This little thing could be a ton of fun to just pickup and go with. May want to add another knee lever as well. Great tone. Body so light is seems unreal that it actually sounds good. |

Raises are tuned at the keyhead. See this thread http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=205028
The Emmons company has been having customer service issues lately.
I'd talk to Lynn Stafford, Billy Knowles or Mike Cass for replacement parts or post in the WTB forum
