1966/7 Emmons Bolt on S10 D/B 3 plus4levers Day set up.

Fri Mar 27, 2026 12:27 pm

I have decided to offer my road guitar for sale it is a bit special hence the price is £3500 and I am not looking for offers, and I will not change the set up to Emmons someone else can have that pleasure.
Now I am the wrong side of 80 yrs. The gigs are fewer and what they are playing is not the western swing sound I love, mostly modern country is crap and played without steel IMHO.
If I do feel the need to get out I can take my D10 (if I can find two men and a boy to help lift it.)

someone requested pics...
The original case long gone for this guitar, the replacement is a vast improvement and is military grade USA Hardigg case previously used to house a minehound I.E.D detection device, so it has been to Afghanistan but the camel shit long gone from the wheels and the guitar was fitted into it by The Packhorse Case co.

Here's an idea of what it sounds like

John, that Emmons has ‘the sound’, just gorgeous.
Thank you for posting the video, you squeezed out
every last ounce of tone from the guitar.
