I've been offered a used Emmons but want to know a bit more about it before I buy it.
The serial number is 224-BR.
Does anyone know the age of this guitar and whether it's a student model or not. It looks pretty nice from the pictures. The only problem is that it only has two knee levers.
What I really want to know is if it would be possible to add extra knees in. Thanks in advance. |

From searching on the forum I think it's a Emmons Black Rock which, I think, is a push-pull (not sure though).
Is this a good guitar, particulalry for a beginner. Is a push-pull good to start with? |

| Does that mean it is a Black Rock or it is a good guitar? |

If the Push Pull is correctly set up, it should present no problems to a beginner. However, if it needs looking at, and it probably will, make sure you know what you're doing, or take it to someone with mechanical aptitude.

| Richard, do you know of anyone in the UK who can do repairs and add knee levers? Could Gerry Hogan do it? |

Daniel,
Ronnie Bennett has a real good reputation as being a builder and repairer.
Sorry I do'nt know how to contact him but you might try the British Steelies web site,
I am sure Ted Nesbitt at Rainbow music will have a number for Ronnie,send Ted an E mail he is a very helpful person.
Best of luck

Dave Wiggins in Essex is a bit closer to you, Daniel. I found his name on the net, but no other details. Look in the British Steelies Society website.
