Farris...what's wrong with getting a players pac-a-seat (no, wouldn't want their stool!). I happen to have Jeff Newman's camoflage (SP)seat. He was my teacher and friend. It's nice to have something personnal to remember him by!

Chas., You are the king of Bigsby collectors, I'm glad you had the love for them and the great forsight to get as many as you have. You are a smart guy with a lot of appreciation for the heritage of the great steel guitars. My hat is off to you.
(and Paul Warnick)

Farris, Brandella thinks you are a funny kind of guy. She said she'd give you anything you wanted, half off. (I hope she's not talking about my store stock!)

Is Tommy changing brands of steel again?!? Obviously, I'd want whatever he's changing to, not changing from....

Nope. Jerry Fessenden says he's building another one for Tommy in a different color. Image

I heard Tommy play that red Fessie at the Opry two fridays ago, it sounded real sweet.
Nice job Tommy!

I partly went to the Opry to hear him play.

I don't know whether this would be historicaly a great steel...
if he played it for a few incredable gigs and legendary sessions it would then have more cache.

A fine night or 10 at the Opry maybe not enough.

Now if Mandy Barnett sat on the front neck while singing Crazy Arms while looking at me, and Tommy was playing C6,
I would snap it up in an instant.

Robert,
I’ve had four MCI or EMCI guitars. A gray Formica finish D-10 went to Gene Oneal, The Christmas album guitar to Chris Templeton, a third I don’t know where, and the fourth or my first MCI, I gave to Don Everly. I have given two other personal D-10 guitars away: one, a Derby to Ray Pennington and the other, a push/pull as a donation to the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

i want to make myself clear about things. we have been having fun and joking around about things here but i could care less who owned what. a guitar from a pro or beginner are the same value with me.

Hey Buddy..next time your in the donating mode, and Don Everly tells you he has no more room in his music studio..you can always send one of them extra D10's over to my house, I'll get rid of the TV and put the Steel in it's place . I'll make my family sit and watch the Steel all night instead of the TV !

You’re absolutely right, Robert Martin. I have a buyer for one of my Legrande llls and I’m asking $2,500 for it. Which would you rather have for the same price; the one Bobbe said was mine or the one I say is mine?<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Buddy Emmons on 24 September 2004 at 06:46 AM.]</p></FONT>

to be honest with you buddy i don't know which one plays the best is worth the most. i have a msa semi classic and a msa classic. thats all i can afford right now. i would love to have a d-10 emmons , sho-bud or even a msa but i just can't come up with that much money. but i will say that i would do research on both after i saw pics and see which one most people like and see which one is in best shape. then i would make a decision.not based on the owner or former owner.
