I wouldn't advise doing this.
If you want an Emmons all pull, buy a LeGrande and don't screw up a p/p.  |

Agreed.
Akin to remotoring a '59 Caddy with a Northstar V8. Probably doable, but ill-advised.
But if it's your guitar, you can do whatever you want with it. It's still a free country, after all. |

Paul,
I wouldn't look too hard! I rebuilt an Emmons S-10 p/p that had been converted to an all pull and then converted back again, it was a mess! |

I saw the pics on the old thread, ugh, that's blasphemy. Can't believe someone would do that to a guitar, I don't care who did it.

| Stu Basore played one that eventually ended up in the hands of Eddie Lang. I don't know what happened to it since then. |

I think Bobbe Seymour did a few of these before they discovered that the desirable tone was also removed with the push pull parts...
That's not Clem's doing...

What Ernie said.
How about thinking the other direction? All pull set up and adjusted like a Push Pull, AND sounding like a push pull? Well - almost. |

Now you're getting close to a Zum Hybrid.  |

| Frank Carter's goal in creating the Infinity steel guitar was also to get as near to a P/P sound as he could with a modern all pull changer, with superb mechanics and meticulous build quality. Most who try one agree he's gotten awfully close. |
