Mike picked up his Steel Guitar East completely restored Emmons Legrande II and spent a couple of days with us at the shop this week. Mike is such a wonderful player and also a wonderful person. A privilege to have him here and get to spend some time with him.

What a great sounding guitar, by a great player. What are the years of production for the push pulls?

Thanks

Mike is one of my favorites. He is a really nice guy and great steel player. Which Lawrence pickup does he have on his Emmons? Is that a 705 Re-issue? He always sounds so good.

Mike definitly is one of my most favored players , love you all but
Mikes thought pattern has the biggest heart in expressions when I see him play
it must be his hair color, just a litlle humor no offense meant

Maybe it's just me, but I'll bet that wood-grained Legrand D-10 is a bear to play with only three legs! I know Mike is a monster player, but if he has no trouble balancing and playing at the same time I would have to give him 10+ on that one! Kids don't try this at home! Roger Very Happy
