I have a 1966 Emmons single neck. Can anyone tell me why these guitars sound so good?

Because it reminds you of the time before you got married.

Earnest, that's the answer! Why didn't I think of that? My wife came in just as I was reading your reply Earnest.

Offhand, I'd say it's the low mass of the changer, and just the right amount (and distribution) of body mass. Mass, in a stringed instrument, is extremely critical. Too little...and there's no "reenforcement" for the string's vibrations. Too much mass (in the body or the bridge--read changer) and the vibrations are dampened. It's a delicate balance, and (when acquired) is very pleasing to the ear.

"Musical", as they say.
