He has done it again, Lynn Stafford of Portland Oregon. He has restored my Emmons pedal steel guitar and, as usual, done an incredible job. He has replaced some parts and other parts are polished. The guitar is like new, it sounds wonderful, looks beautiful, but most of all, it is mine. I can not thank Lynn enough for this effort, but I think he understands. Lynn also brought me the history of the guitar, such as first owner and owner´s prior to myself.
I will also give credit to Bob Littleton for making such a fine case to my “new” PSG. It´s well built, it´s got wheels which makes it easier to carry around. Thanks a lot Bob.
Look at the pics...

Kjell,
Thanks so much for your kind words. It was a real pleasure doing business with you and I sincerely hope you enjoy playing your Emmons for many years to come.
Here is another shot or two of the guitar without the colored tape on the knee lever handles. I removed the tape after checking with Kjell first to make sure it was okay.
Kjell decided he wanted the pedals polished, along with new pedal rods.

Dan,
My good friend, Bob Littleton of West Coast Steel Guitar built the case for Kjell. He's built several one piece and split cases for me and my customers.
