| Sounds interesting. Any chance you could post it elsewhere, for those of us who don't do Facebook? |

| Sorry Lee. Didn't think about that. I made it a few months ago and I'm not sure I even have that file anymore. I got a video capture program that I can use to grab it and upload to YouTube. I think most everybody can get YouTube. |

For those that would rather watch it on YouTube here is the link. Sorry but everytime I move the video to another site the quality keeps degrading. Seems like these websites are gonna compress it more regardless of the file size.

In your video you said you are rebuilding EMCIs with new old stock. Where did you get them?
When Gretsch bought EMCI, I thought they locked up all of the parts in a warehouse and wouldn't sell them, so nobody had access to them.
I might have it all wrong, so I would like to hear the real story. |

| Jim I bought the parts from a guy named Billy that goes to North or South Carolina once a month and buys them from Fred Gretsch. He has tons of NOS Sho-Bud parts also. He said he could make me a better deal on the Sho-Bud changer fingers by buying by the hundreds so they must have plenty left over. |

I was wondering about this guy because he's selling a Bigsby spanish guitar reissue, left-handed. His is a BY-50, like my friend Pete Mitchell had. I have a BY-48. These are way-cool electric guitars, IMHO.
So the guy doesn't take old guitars and strip them, he has access to NOS Gretsch material. This is a good source. I will follow him.

I believe that is correct Herb. He may be the only access to that stuff outside of retail stores. That Bigsby is cool for sure. Grady Martin was playing one of those Bigsbys on the Red Foley Show. Some of those re-issues are China made but still quality stuff. Amazing what CNC machines can do.[/quote] |

Thanks for the info and it's great to hear that all of those parts aren't lost forever! |
