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 - 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.
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.
Looks like you used to own this guitar. Just was wondering if you knew when this guitar was made? I couldn’t find a serial number on it at all. The guitar now has a fourth lever now. Plays great and still sounds great! Any information would help. Thanks!

I've had two GS-10s. Both had a three-digit serial number with a "GS" suffix. Before they shut their doors, Bobbie at the factory told me they were both built in 1973. I'm a big fan; exquisite-sounding instruments. According to a reliable source, GS stood for guitar/student. There was also an eight-string available for a short time (anybody have one?).
