Hi everybody! Thanks so much for having me here, and for all of the wonderful content and vibes. You guys are fantastic.
I’m a long time professional touring guitarist, and I’m brand new to steel. I grabbed a lovely ‘77 Emmons D10, and it needs some love to be tip top. I’d love to learn about it in the process, but either way, am looking for a tech that I can drive to.
I’m located in Burlington, VT. It would be killer to find someone close-ish to me, but I’m also not afraid of a road trip. Thanks in advance for any advice or ideas!
Best,
Zach |

I echo the praise for Tom Cass. He works on all makes, but he does wonders with Emmonses, Zach.
And welcome to the journey. |

Absolutely Tommy! He helped me buy my first guitar, a 69 Emmons, in 1972 and did a full rebuild on it last year. Great on guitars and great on friendship, too.

| I'll add my big, thumbs up for Tommy as well. A great craftsman and a great guy. Tommy had John Macy's '69 and my '69 at his shop at the same time last year. Interestingly, the guitars are just four serial #s apart. Pretty cool..!! The work Tommy did for my '69 D-10 Rosewood was perfect. |

Tommy is the man! Super nice guy and his work is superb. Check out his work on my P/P refurb. Chris Ivey used to call this "The Street Rod"
