It looks like an Emmons GS-10 student model. _________________ Clinesmith consoles D-8/6 5 pedal, D-8 3 pedal & A25 Frypan, Pettingill Teardrop, & P8 Deluxe. |

Rick is correct, Emmons GS-10 White Teakwood. Very good guitars and well worth $800 if it has a case. _________________ Emmons D-10, ST-10,LD-10 III, NV-112,Fender Deluxe Reverb. Authorized wholesale dealer musicorp.com! |

Sounds exactly like a push/pull because it is a push/pull. My '73 sunburst lacquer GS-10 sounds awesome, and it's lots easier to lug around than my '73 rosewood fatback D-10. |

I set one up that someone had screwed up the underneath. After setup and testing it, I wouldn't be afraid to take it on a job. Sounded very close to my D-10 PP. _________________ GFI Ultra Keyless S-10 with pad (Black of course) TB202 amp, Hilton VP, Steelers Choice sidekick seat, SIT Strings (all for sale as package)

Looks like it's been in the rust belt, and I would be afraid the ends would break off soon. |

My first PSG was an Emmons student model, 40+ years ago. I added 2 knee levers and played it on gigs for a couple of years. Yes, it has the p/p sound, but the pickup is different than the pro model pickup. It's only wound to about 12K ohms, as I remember. It's not as "tall" as the pro pickup due to fewer windings. I noticed that in a side-by-side comparison with a pro model.
Here's a Demo I made with a GS-10 several years ago. This is on my blog, along with tablature for the solo ---> http://playsteelguitar.com/e9-pedal-steel-guitar-solo-invitation-to-the-blues/ |
Awesome, Doug--that sounds great!! What color was your GS-10? _________________ Emmons & Peavey |

My first steel was a rosewood Emmons GS-10 built in 1974 with three pedals, one knee |

With the possible exception of the cables and connectors, definitely the most important consideration in putting a rig together. |
