I posted these pix for Erv in another thread, but they deserve their own discussion.

..not likely, Nick...that one's currently on sale from a music shop in Canandaigua, NY. Erv's is apparently in his house, and isn't for sale...and I think Erv is programmed to buy only, not sell

Pat you are so right. Erv only buys. Sell is not in his vocabulary.

Erv Niehaus · Post by **Erv Niehaus** » 1 Mar 2006 2:45 pm

When you suffer from GAS, the word "sell" in not in your vocabulary.
After I saw a posting on the Forum about Ron reissuing new p/p's, I got ahold of him and made arrangements for two D-10s. And I'm sure glad I did as I doubt if there will be any more. The one for sale on ebay is the same as my wine burst but it is not my guitar. I might consider selling some of my guitars in a few years but not right now.
At present, I have in my stable 10 Emmons push/pulls.

Erv

PS: I forgot to mention that the birth dates of my p/p's range from a 1966 D-10, bolt on, up to the two new p/p's you see pictured.[This message was edited by Erv Niehaus on 01 March 2006 at 02:47 PM.]

I think that I'll send a couple more pictures for Joey to post. You really need to see a closeup of the birdseye maple on the blonde.

More pix from Erv

The birdseye maple on the blond is exceptional.
Also, you can see that, under the hood, everything is brand spankin' new.

Erv, hows that D12 treating you?

Charles Dempsey · Post by **Charles Dempsey** » 2 Mar 2006 8:46 pm

Ten push/pulls? Far out!

I've only got the one push/pull. My other PSG is a LeGrande, but if we count 6-strings then I have ten guitars. I guess ten is the magic number

TEN PP's ?!?! Erv!!!

Hey, I've owned way over 10, but not all at one time!! You are the tops! Currently I have three wraparounds and a woodneck, all 64's and 65's. But I don't store them in the stable... I keep them in the house. The horse lives in the stable.

Herb,
About the only model I don't have is a wraparound, someday maybe. I have everything from an S-12 a D-12 (thanks to Pat), an SD-10 and several D-10s. Some are mica with metal necks, both wide and narrow pedals. Some are lacquer with metal necks and two lacquers with wood necks. In addition to the p/p Emmons, I also have two LeGrande II's. About 4 or 5 Sho~Buds, two Williams, a Rains and a D-10 Fulawka.
I am also into non-pedal steels with maybe a dozen or so. Several Fenders, some Gibsons, a couple Rickenbachers, some Regals and an original 8 string Dobro.
I think I need to get into therapy!

Think I need to make a trip out to see Erv & do some droolin' at the ol stable!

Erv Niehaus · Post by **Erv Niehaus** » 3 Mar 2006 9:04 am

Kevin,
I don't have them all set up to see, that's for sure. I usually have one set up at a time that I'm playing and doing some fine tuning on. My present project is the Fulawka and I'm going to be getting some parts from Ed and add a couple more knee levers and a 9th foot pedal to it. I also have a 1966 bolt on p/p in transit that I will be doing some work on.
I forgot to mention in my other posting that, in the area of non-pedal, I also have an original Shot Jackson/Jerry Byrd long scale Frypan and a recently acquired Jerry Byrd model D-8, short scale Excel.
And the beat goes on and on and on and on!

Soooo fine, Erv. If you get put into therapy, don't let the nurse give you an 'Emmona'-- it's quite painful, I'm sure!

My wife has pretty much resigned herself to the fact that I'm completely out of control.

However, of late, I've shown what a few guitars have gone for on e-bay. There was a D-8 Stringmaster a while ago that went for around $1,600 and I have a twin to it if not ever a little bit nicer. I also have a quad Stringmaster that I bought for $1,400 and I believe the last one on ebay went for over $4,200. I also have some other regular guitars and basses also. I have a Fender Precision bass that I bought new in 1955. I still have the original strings for it and the tag that hung from the headstock.
