I'm looking for my first steel...is an Emmons S 10 a good choice? What would be a good price as a local guy is selling one...thanks in advance.

Brian,
An "Emmons S10" covers a lot of territory.
The price could range from $300 to over $3000.
If you could be specific on what you are looking at, we can help you.

Regards,
Bob

Thanks, Bob. Not much info except bought from an old guy. All I have is a picture and it is 3x4.

Looks like its from the mid 70's or so.
Probably would go for $1000 to $1500 depending
on how many knee levers are on it.

Brian.
That's a 70s laquer push/pull, it is definitely a keeper. If it's in good condition, as it appears to be, you are looking at $18-$2200.

Congratulations on a great find!

Hey Brian,
I looked at that one as well, it is a 3+3, with some damage to the finish, big scar on the top near the tuners and a miising piece of inlay on the back apron, plus it doesn't have a case. I would think $1,000 might be tops.

Adding knee levers to a p/p is costly. The parts are hard to find, and the guitars are not easy to work on. IF this guitar was in Excellent Cond. with case and 4 knee levers it would be worth over $2K.
