Is this fake? Or could the legendary/ground breaking pioneers of the Emmons steel be coming back? Did I miss something?

Wow! Amazing! I wonder if this means pedal steel is seeing an increase of interest?

So I have to wonder, who is reviving this company and if they are capable of actually building an original PushPull Emmons?
If this is true, it sure makes me happy.

| Best of luck to Kelcey and Darin! A daunting undertaking indeed, but there's nothing quite like a good old push-pull. Hoping their new venture will be a phenomenal success. |

Under new management. These guys are push-pull fanatics. It's taking them a while to get it started because they want to do everything right. I imagine that the first guitars they make will be faithful recreations of the original Emmons design.

I had a long talk with Kelcey a couple nights ago, discussing many aspects of the project. I am convinced of his sincerity and perseverance and I'm sure they will come up with a great guitar.

I wouldn't be surprised to see then offer a Bolt-On option down the line. After all, it takes the same neck, just with the base for the changer posts milled flat.
