I picked up a GS10 in rough shape. Non-mica’d with a red enamel underbelly. Brown-stained body and pedalbar. Dunno, might be a refin. Condition-wise, it “is what it is” but at least it’s all there and it’ll be fun to work on. Besides, I have a soft spot for them anyway.

It’s an early one with wide pedals and a serial number of GS 115. Question: when did Emmons first offer GS10’s? I don’t know.

Thanks.

This question has come up a couple times with no exact answer but it seems like they first came out in the late 60s and Emmons had already produced a few hundred of them by the early 70s.
Hopefully someone can answer better than I can.

The GS-10s were being made in the early seventies. My first steel was a 1974 Emmons GS-10 with three pedals and one knee lever. I'd gotten it for Christmas in 1999 when I was eighteen.
