This was one of the Push-Pull reissue guitars built by Ron Lashey. It is 2 years old, and I have not played it very much. It has never been out of my studio except for a trip to Dr. Bowman's house for a "tune-up". The set up is "DAY" and it has 8 Floor pedals and five Knee levers. The color is Dark Emerald Green.
For those who are not familiar with these guitars, here is the story: A few of the old original Push Pull bodies were found in the Emmons factory wrapped up in blankets. Rather than dispose of them it was decided that they would offer them as a Reissue of the Push Pull as long as the bodies lasted. This one is Emerald Green laquer with in-lays. The knee levers are polished and of course, the pedals and everything under the guitar is new. Ron called me just before the guitar was completed and said he had found some original maple necks and asked if I wanted them. After several days of indecision, I decided to have him use the maple necks.
This guitar has "the Emmons sound" and if you are looking for a Push Pull that you don't need to rebuild, here it is.
I am selling it because I have a LeGrande III and I have not played this one very much. Just thinning the herd.
Asking price is $3,000 plus shipping - includes the case which looks new. Remember, the body of this guitar is 30 plus years old. Although it was never made into a guitar until I purchased it, there are a few "charactor" marks on it from just laying around the shop. They are not bad, but they are there.
I am offering it for sale for quite a bit less than it cost to have it built.
You can reach me at 714-612-9091 or 209-838-1850

| nice steel at a great price...i had to laugh at it being tuned up after only 2 years of not much playing. my tune up schedule is maybe scraping some of the fuzzy crud off the bottom every 20 years after massive playing and abuse. |
