Are the original legs and case included?
In any event, it looks like a winner to me, especially with the upgraded legs, VP & bracket.
If I did not already have a pretty little sunburst lacquer GS-10, I would be all over this one like a horsefly on a cowpie. Mine, too, has the adjustable legs, and their additional weight does indeed add a great degree of stability to a relatively lightweight instrument.
These things sound great, and they are the lightest weight push-pulls known to man. The portability factor is the main reason I bought mine. 45 pounds cased up, vs 85 pounds for my D-10. In addition to my ears, my back, right arm, and shoulder all love my GS-10. |

| I think you might have nailed it, Tom, when you suggested that maybe everybody is broke. Otherwise this steel is certainly a steal at that price. I'd jump on it if I had a need for one. The little hole in the top fascinates me, though. It was obviously drilled for a purpose rather than some kind of accidental damage. But why would anyone want to drill a hole at that location? I can't imagine what the purpose might have been. |

Sometimes an odd hole in a steel's mica isn't from someone drilling from the top. It can occur from drilling a pilot hole too deep from the underside.
This is a nice steel. |

I set up one of these for a friend about 15 years ago. Basically changed (corrected) the rodding that the previous owner had screwed up.
It played good and sounded good. Although this is a "student" model, I wouldn't be afraid to take it on a job. |

I have done a fair amount of research on "student model" pedal steel guitars. There is ONE that stands out head and shoulders above the rest (that’s why I have one): EMMONS GS-10. These are some of the comments from posters here on the Forum that I gathered:
• Emmons GS-10 student guitars sound awesome and, like any other Emmons that is properly adjusted, will play in tune and stay in tune. A Genuine Emmons Push-Pull Pedal Steel Guitar is awesome because you can feel it throughout your whole body when you play it. Even with the amp off! I say that knowing first-hand what that really means. My MSA didn't do that. My Sho-Bud didn't do that.
• What is it that gives the Student Emmons GS-10 the unique Emmons sound it has?
o It’s the changer mechanism. One part of the changer finger (the lowering segment) is held tight against the body of the instrument by a strong spring, and has a metal bolt screwed through it, on which the raise finger rests. The raise finger is also insulated slightly from the raise rods by means of a thin wire hook, which minimises loss of vibration.
o That tone on the GS-10 student model is from the "BOLT ON" changer--- PERIOD.
• If I had never, ever played an Emmons, I may have other ideas. But I know what they sound like, because I know who played them on certain old records. I heard what they sounded like, both live on stage, and close up and personal, with guys playing them, like Russ Pahl (Elton John’s band) and Mike Cass (Ray Price’s Cherokee Cowboys) and Hal Rugg and Buddy Emmons and Jeff Newman. Not to say Lloyd Green does not sound great on his Sho-Bud, or that Tom Brumley did not sound great on his ZB, or whatever. But you know what? Emmons, Jernigan, Hughey, Rugg, Charlton, Weldon, Herby Wallace, Jay Dee Maness, Buddy Cage, and on and on and on... There was one common denominator--- Push-Pulls.
• There are some who believe the student model actually has better tone than any of the pro models.
• I get a GS-10 thru here for servicing every now and then. I'm always amazed at how good they sound.
• I have a lot of push-pulls. A LOT. So, Naturally I compare them to each other. The best sounding push-pull I have is a '66 bolt-on D10. If I didn't need a D10 for gigs then I'd probably take a GS-10 student model. I say that owning three S10 p/p's, too. Either of the two student models i own have got the tone big time. Big time.
• I also prefer my Emmons student model to my Pro Emmons S-10...both guitars sound great, but the little one just has something extra...plus, it's easier to lug around.
• The Emmons GS-10 is a great guitar. Many pros have used them-- they sound great and are very stable. |
