 I don't know where else to ask this question, Does anyone know what's going on with The Emmons Guitar Company? I have been trying to order two PULL rods for the pedal two, 3rd and 6th strings G# to A raise on my 92 Emmons Le Grande D 10. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure it no longer exists.
Try Billy Knowles or Jerry Roller - they're both very knowledgeable and, I believe, carry Emmons parts. There may be others, too; perhaps they'll respond here.

| Bill, I think Emmons has closed up. Get in touch with Lynn Stafford or Billy Knowles. They may be able to help you out out. |

Emmons Guitar Co in Burlington NC is no longer a business with a store front. Its been said that some of the experienced repair guys, Knowles, Stafford etc can still get some Emmons parts .
Go to them , Lynn Stafford, Billy Knowles , Jim Palenscar.

Why is Mike Cass not being mentioned? I've heard he was a source for Emmons parts.
Is he no longer doing repair/restoration work on Emmons Guitars? |

Thanks all, I have contacted Larry Behm, who gave me Lynn Stafford's number, spoke with Lynn, very easy to talk to, who referred me to Billy Knowles, who I can't seen to find time to call, he is on the east coast. I will try Jim Palinscar Mike Cass or who ever else, until I get the parts. Thank you all.

| Jerry Roller made two LeGrande rods for me just 2 or 3 weeks ago. They looked perfect to me. One thing to watch for. The LeGrand I’m working on has mostly machined aluminum bellcranks. There are however a few thin stamped steel bellcranks on it. I don’t think the pullrods made for the stamped steel ones will reach thru the thicker aluminum ones enough to key. I was able to keep the parts paired on this guitar. |

| Oops, I blew that one. I see where it was pedal rods not pull rods. Oh well, maybe somebody can use the pull rod info. |

I’ve made them myself using welding rod from one of our local steel fabricators. They were dirt cheap.
After cutting them to length, hand thread one end with a dye and scribe the other end with a pipe cutter for the “e-clip”. Lastly, bend the rod end 90 degrees via vice or a block with a hole.

Just a note to Tony's method:
If you don't have a pipe cutter to score the rod for the e-clip, you can use the thread-die to score the rod...just a few revolutions should be enough. Do this before you bend the right-angle. |

 I talked today with Jim Palenscar, sent him my measurements, 27 1/4" and he is working on them. Thanks again.

Just as info,
I can guarantee that Mike Cass is definitely still doing work on all brands and types of steels. He just finished a total rebuild of an Emmons for me. First rate work. |
