FYI ... I noticed Gruhn Guitars has an Emmons "Little Buddy" pedal steel listed on their site right now for $750. Comes with three pedals and one knee. I don't know how expandable this rig is but maybe a good cheap starter guitar for a beginner?

for approx. the same price, one can get a Carter Starter
which will be way ahead of the Little Buddy

| IMHO that's overpriced for a Little Buddy. |

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the Little Buddy line of guitars were built by the Emmons Steel Guitar Co.I agree with David about it being over priced.I see them allthe time going for around 500.00 on ebay, and we all know how stupid pricing is there.As Crowbear stated Carter starter would be a much better buy.
Just My 2 cents worth

Did Emmons make a "Little Buddy" steel?
The one on the Gruhn web page looks like the Emmons Student model ST10 to me.
I thought the "Little Buddy" was a beginner steel made by someone else ( not Emmons). Didn't they have a logo that was shaped like a map of the USA?
I have seen a picture or two somewhere of what appeared to be an Emmons Student model with that USA outline logo on it, but I just assumed that some previous owner put the "Little Buddy" badge in it.
What's the actual history on the "Little Buddy" ?
You could do better for $750.

For what it is worth, that guitar is an exact match of a upgraded student model I have at home.

It's a Emonns Student Model Guitar. Should sell for about 450.00 to 550.00 depending on the condition.

A little history on the Little Buudy. Guitars were built by Freeman Cowgar.
Sadly Freeman is no longer with us, but he never received the credit he deserved as a Mfg and promoter of Steels. His guitars were affordable. Prior to the COUGAR he built the LITTLE BUDDY.I bought all the remaining stock after Freemans death so that I may be able to help anyone that may have an old Freeman guitar.

That's an Emmons student model, overpriced at $750 but not as overpriced as a real Little Buddy would be at $750.
Surprisingly, or not so, some of those Emmons student jobs sounded pretty darn good. They were PP's, after all.

Beware of Gruhn Guitars.
If this guitar has been mistreated or damaged, they will not be able to tell.
If you complain, they will claim that they know NOTHING about steel guitars.
If you complain on the forum, they will ignore it because they consider the forum to be "unregulated".

Herb is right about the sound . Sounds like a Push Pull Emmons S-10.It's just not as finished and pretty.Played one on a couple of songs for a Gosple recording. Sounded great and played well after I got her tuned up.Just didn't care for the Aluminum legs.
