| I'm just wondering if anybody knows anything about the red,white & blue EMCI on Carter's website. I purchased it and was just curious about the pick ups and especially the color. The CARTER folks sell fine new/used guitars and I know they stay very busy, so I'm just asking anyone on the forum if they happen to be familiar with this particular guitar. I believe the EMCI's were Arlington built guitars if I remember correctly. I have researched the EMCI info available on the forum which was interesting in between the arguing that was going on at the time it was discussed. I always thought the E in EMCI was for Emmons but BE cleared that up during the discussion. |

Billy I think that is Janet Lynn's old guitar. If it's the one I saw at the Dallas show. I do not know well Janet but I did me her at the show. Give Jody Sanders a call. He's the one that told me it was Janet's. Best of luck with the EMCI!

Billy,
That steel was built for Janet Lynn. In about 1995, I bought it from her and had it until I traded it on a brand new Carter. You can call me if you would like more information. I will email my phone number.
Thanks,
Cameron Parsons |

| I've got an identicle model to the one you have Billy. I got mine from Bobbe Seymour who told me that there were only a few made. My serial # is 0003. One of the best sounding/playing guitars I own. |

| Thanks. What about the pick ups? I couldn't tell from the pics but they look like Barcus Berry. |

| Billy they are Barcus Berry's - I played one for 20 years myself (86 MCI Rangexpander) - brilliant guitar. |

| Mine had Barcus Berry's on it. In my opinion, the E-9th pickup sounded great but the C-6 side was a little thin . I tried some George L's(E-66 & 10-1)and it made a slight improvement. |

| Those pickups are the Barcus Berry pickups. When I was about to trade it for my Carter, Bobby Bowman overhauled it and installed Barcus Berry pickups. When I had it, I used BL710's. |

| If ex-Uncle Bob worked on it then it probably plays better than a new one! Thanks for the info guys. I appreciate it. |

| Thanks Herb. I imagine BB has forgotten more steel guitar than a lot of us know. We need more BB's that are as dedicated as he is to this this wonderful instrument. Thanks again. |
