Hello Folks,

A little post describing a redone Emmons GS-10. It was the same colors (red-burst) as Stu Shulman's new GS-10, but not in as good of shape... Here is Stu's thread - https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=368798

So... I figured I should do something about that, and here is what I came up with. Once I put it together it kinda reminded me of a bumblebee, hence the name.

It's light as a feather, and yet has some fine tone. Check out th short video link found on the bottom of this post.

Thanks for looking. Smile


















And a short video demo...

Wow, that is sweet! And it's definitely got that push/pull tone. My first pedal steel was a GS-10 way back in the early 70s. Nice work! Smile

That's real nice Mike! Given enough time, Stu's will look like that, the way the paint is flaking. Good to know that there's real wood underneath.
I love these little guys. Case weighs more than the guitar.

Thanks all for the kind words!

Yeah, the paint was flaking off this steel like needles on Charlie Brown's Christmas tree... Laughing
