Chris,
I thought you were referring to their lap steel -- but I guess not. I do have an 8-string Emmons lap, though -- that's my only Emmons.

| I've got an Emmons 8-string lap, too, in black. I rarely play it, though -- mostly I use my Melobar 6 string. |

| How are those Emmons lap steels? Are they the same neck and parts as on a pedal guitar sans pedals and what ever the rest of that stuff is? Do they sound like a PSG? Volume and tone controls onboard? |

Mike,
Mine's one piece of wood -- pretty narrow, and basically the only metal on there is the round nut and bridge -- they're steel bars. It sounds fine. I've never played an Emmons PSG. Tone/volume controls, yes. Mine is dark stained, as was a lot of the early 70's furniture... |
