I've played this horn and it sounds great..!! Cool looking too. John Hughey and Bob Hempker both had guitars with the same finish in the early 70s.

And, it's a Bolt On! That's a really good price. So tempting.

I remember seeing Conway and Loretta live in the early 70s with Bob and John playing guitars that looked just like this horn.

John cut some of Conway's hits on his satin blue - black wood-neck, bolt-on, fat-back.

I think $2900.00 is a good price for this horn. I think it's very cool and I'd play it anytime, anywhere. I wish I could justify buying it... but I'm biting the bullet on a new Ultrex trolling motor for my bass-boat. The Ultrex cost almost as much as this great Emmons..!!

I found other Weldon pictures. That guitar is a LeGrand and it has metal necks

I'm fixated on this guitar for some reason. I've always loved that colour (teal?) in Emmons Mica

I hope the new owner nicknames this guitar Batman. The blue/black makes it look like a superhero.

I don't understand why no one seems to want this. I thought bolt-on's were sought after. $2900. seems like a low price. I already have too many, or I would buy this myself just for the investment. Thanks, Tommy.....

A fatback bolt-on is rare indeed. Maybe special order? Emmons used Bolt-on changers well into the '70s on wood neck models, but I don't recall seeing a metal neck bolt-on much after '67 or '68 (?). Cool guitar.

Oops. Wood necks. They were just about all bolt-ons, yes? Still a cool guitar.
