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.

While final assembly of ReSound'65s is the priority in the assembly area, we have a bustling service department that's busy here in between new builds as well. ECS exists as a sister brand to Emmons Guitar Co. to meet the needs of all things Emmons in the pre-owned and service categories, and provides an unparalleled professional experience.

If you're an Emmons owner, want to become one, or are just a big fan of the brand, why go anywhere else for service and support? No one can take care of you better!

A little wiring righting for today! A lovely SKH LeGrande came in with a Bill Lawrence L710 badly in need of a good hookup! The pic on the right is how it arrived -- the low power tap was connected to the bypass switch, and the full power tap was connect to the pot in some impossible combination with the tone control. And check out all those grounds... talk about haywire!

We fixed it right up with a CTS push pull pot and and a new cap. The push pull function on the pot activates the tap on the pickup, and the original tome bypass is now fully functional too, without the need to add more switches to the control plate. Needless to say the tone is vastly improved, and she's ready to be heard loud and clear!
