Maybe it´s been up before. Are Buddy playing a wood neck PP?

Push/Pull. Here is a clip from the same 10/9/65 Bobby Lord Show. I assume Emmons was on the Ray Price band in 1965 and this was a in town call.

Who's on guitar? Spider Wilson? That Epiphone sounds great.

Spider and Buddy were teen-age bandmates with Dickens'"Country Boys"
about 7-8 years before this taping.

Wooden necks for sure. Anyone know if it was #8?

(speculation follows)

Obviously...yes. Not sure, but I'd guess this must be a very early Emmons guitar, maybe the very first p/p (or certainly one of the first). Note that there's not even a "V" chevron on the decal! That seems to indicate that the now famous logo wasn't even designed when this guitar was built.

Someone probably knows the whole story, though.

Well I found this that Herb Steiner wrote in a longer post about a year ago.

quote: "I've owned 4 wraparounds in my career, also two '64 red belly bolt-on woodnecks."
