Tommy,

Wow! "Absolutely Astonishing!!! Pure work of Art." I can't begin to imagine, the amount of time, something like that would take.

That ends me of showing my cleanup job on mine. :oops:

Tommy Cass, :whoa: Your excellent work is only preceeded by your excellent pickin' and reputation.

That undercarriage work is so beautiful, there should be a mirror underneath the guitar to show the people while it is being played. Sort of like the overhead mirrors some piano players in Vegas have to show their hands in action... but on this guitar, it should be underneath.

My only recomendation is that next time, you should put a knee lever (or two) on it. :lol:

All I can say is Wow! 8)

Thanks guys for looking and all the kind words.
Paul, This guitar will be for sale, but I want to hold onto it until after the steel show in Texas. I will be showing it and another one I am working on at the show.
Thanks again, Tom

Damn, Tommy! Fine job, as usual.

I played this Emmons D-10 last month when I visited Tom, and I can tell you... it has That Sound! It was partially restored when I played it. I'm blown away by completed project!
------------------------------------------------


The reason I went to Tom's was to pick my newly restored Sho-Bud Pro 1 rack & barrel. Tom's work is amazing.

Tommy,
That sure is a good lookin Steel. I'd rather have that than any new one on the market. Just think how good it would look under my Christmas tree this year.
