Paul,
I'll take the red fiddle back maple Zum off your hands. I see your profile says you are into steel guitars. Somehow I sense that you really are into steel guitars.
Got any more pictures of the reddish Zum?

Pat,
I really doubt that he has me beat. I have 11 push/pull Emmons alone.  |

| ..well, Erv, if collecting Emmons guitars was a sport, I think Paul certainly has enough to make the team...and not the minor league. Maybe we should start a poll "how many Emmons push/pull guitars do you own" so we can find out who to put on the 25 man roster. Maybe I can be a season ticket holder in the bleachers with a measly 2 push/pulls. |

That is not all he does…builds um, repairs um, fabricates parts if need be. I think his best attribute are his polishing skills |

Pat,
I do more than just collect them. I have refinished and rebuilt several p/p's to date. The one I really need to get started on is a p/p that that was once owned by Doug Jernigan. He had it set up from Emmons with 11 foot pedals. Quite unusual. |
