This lovely old Emmons came to me in an ill fitting plastic case that would be better suited to a S10 and the legs and pedal board in a soft guitar bag....
It did not do justice to this beautiful guitar so I set about making one..... I was lucky I had the Rains case here to copy but even then twas a hellova job!!!
anyway, after blood sweat and a few cuss words this is as far as I have got and I am waiting for the case furniture to come so I can finish it.
Was it hard Hell yessss!! I will not be making another and my hat is off to those that do this for a living...

That looks pretty good John. It will look a lot better when you fit all the hardware. Hidden talents ole boy.
