James, that's pretty serious. Glad I'm on your good side!

Actually, Marc, I'd like to tell ya I can hold them straight out, like Marines in basic training. But I'm just not that big of a liar.

The grunt factor is up there, and I leave tracks in the asfault in the summer. I do cheat lately though, putting my twin in a head cab. I might try one of Kevin's split cases sometime, so I can cheat a little more.

If you are looking for more than just tone and a great feel of a great guitar, and also want a look like none other, Look for a new Mullen. Customized to the one of a kind look. The Mullen crew did a great job on my Custom SD10 G2. I'll post as soon as I can. Larry

My Emmons Push Pull is a pretty easy guitar to play.And since I have added the Steel Guitar Black Box, to it. It's even sweeter sounding.

And as sure as you're born as soon as a builder like Fulawka for instance makes something beautiful and different there will be somebody posting "Why does it cost so much?" $:\$

Bought the P/P below in 1973,the only change is the pickups, it plays today same as it did 35 years ago and looks great, stays in tune and sound wonderful, what a great steel guitar, Shorty

I'm Proud of charlie, he still carry's around an old MSA, you know that sounds good, weldone charlie!

What model MSA was it again??

As far as old and heavy, anybody using a; Ummm, Wheelie cart????

I like the way Danny Bates thinks. You don't need a younger guitar, just younger roadies!

Plus she can keep those pesky Sho-Bud groupies at bay... if you want.

Bobbe Seymour · Post by **Bobbe Seymour** » 20 Nov 2009 11:48 am

Darn you Danny, I'm trying to work her! This is a horrible (wonderful) distraction!

Yes Bobbe, those Sho-Bud girls can be terribly distracting.

I hate when they always make us go to the front of the stage and hold their feet on the pedals...

I'm sure you've heard many times..."What does this knee lever do Bobbe?" "What about this one?"

As if they could ever wear fingerpicks with those long nails!

Damn, this can sure be a tough business! Makes you feel like you work in a women's shoe store.

As far as old heavy guitars go, I remember being told you only got to carry it in to the venue once, you got to listen to it all night !!!!!

Larry Bressington · Post by **Larry Bressington** » 20 Nov 2009 10:58 pm

That would be my pleasure, in the right hands

Brian Henry · Post by **Brian Henry** » 21 Nov 2009 4:23 am

My first guitar was a green shobud ldg. Worst guitar I have ever owned!! The pedals and undercarriage rattled and clanked like a steam engine. On the plus side when I did "Orange Blossom.." I had all the sound effects free of charge!!

Kevin Hatton · Post by **Kevin Hatton** » 21 Nov 2009 2:14 pm

Coop relacement parts fix that problem.

Brian Henry · Post by **Brian Henry** » 21 Nov 2009 2:31 pm

A Zumsteel, MSA, Emmons Mullen or Carter never had that problem and never needed to be cooped either!!

Kevin Hatton · Post by **Kevin Hatton** » 21 Nov 2009 3:33 pm

A Cooped Sho-Bud makes them equal or superior mechanicaly. Coop parts. The great equalizer.

One guy will drive a hot rod model T, and another guy wants his antique to be restored original. Yet other guys get more excited about Hummers, and Lexus. Ain't the world a beautiful place?
