Smiles are what we want to do best here at Emmons Custom Shop, and we wanted to share a joyously candid photo of Dave Cubbedge, and his review of the experience he had with us here at the shop:

"As an owner of three Emmons guitars that all need attention, and being in an area of the country where there are no pedal steel technicians, I started reaching out to various people who could help me. In the end I decided to do what only seemed right, take them to the source. One wouldn't take their Ferrari to the corner guy for a transmission rebuild, right? So I went to Sevierville and met with Kelcey and Kevin - I wasn't sure what would happen, but in the end everything I had hoped for was accomplished and more! I was impressed with the knowledge Kelcey has about ALL psg's. It was a wonderful experience. I stayed all day, played the ReSound65 and just had a great time. I will be back to pick up one I left and to drop off another. I am one very satisfied customer. Thank you Kelcey and Kevin for a day well spent!

Time to start practicing! Cheers!!"

Thanks to Dave and the rest of the steel community for giving us the opportunity for more smiles on more faces!

Have a great weekend!

ECS is always proud to help keep the show on the road, and we recently had the privilege of making a service call for Noah Patrick of 49 Wi******er while they were touring nearby with Eric Church. Noah has an amazing 1970 Emmons Original that he plays on the road non-stop and is an unstoppable workhorse, however he wanted to treat the ol girl to some upgrades.

We visited Noah on-site, and installed two new sets of our exclusive Kluson Revolution tuners, giving the original 55+ year old tuners much needed relief! While we were at it, we installed two new fretboards with Buddy's original graphics to replace the pair of aftermarket boards' that it was wearing (the old ones were an 1/8 inch off scale too, Noah said he thought he was crazy!)

Emmons Originals and talented musicians have been a match made in heaven for over 60 years, and we are proud of Noah and the boys for continuing that legacy with their music today. Let us help you keep your Emmons looking and playing like God and Buddy intended... reach out to us today!

Links for the tuners and fretboards are in the first comment.

Happy Friday everyone!

I need yalls help on this one! This monster rig is an 11x7 setup that was custom ordered by Doug Jernigan in 1972. Yes, you read that right, 11 pedals! Doug traded it in at some point, and it somehow has managed to survive 50 some years without hardly a screw turned on it, and it's pretty much the way it left the factory. I've spoken to Doug, and he verified both that it was indeed his, and that it is setup the way he ordered it.

Here's where I need some help: the E9 neck has only a very basic copedent, while the C6 neck alone has 8 pedals and 5 knees operating on it. The undercarriage is currently out of it for cleaning (50 years of ni****ne was stuck underneath!), and I'd like for it to go back pretty much the way it was, with maybe only minor updates to the E9 neck.

So....
If you're interested in this one-of-a-kind, once-in-a-lifetime axe, hit me up and let me know what you think!

P.S.
The copedent is in the last picture of the post.
