I couldn't help but post some pics of the Emmons that I got from Daymon, who was a pleasure to work with. This is the 70s Brazilian Rosewood Emmons that Mike Scaggs redid and it looks, plays and sounds absolutely amazing! I feel extremely fortunate to get this and now I've got to figure out what to do with my other '74 Emmons D10 in baby blue that Tommy Cass did an amazing job on. I guess there are worse problems to have.
