Clem Schmitz is the ace Emmons push-pull mechanic that has come up with this innovation.

Gotta love that Emmons sound. Too many pros can be wrong. Mike Johnson at the controls don't hurt anything. One of my favorites too. Thanks for posting this Frank.

Dunno if it's actually relative, but it's a
list of Clem Schmitz, the ace Emmons
push-pull mechanics steel-related stuff
that he sells on eBay.

Clem is the original author of that push-pull repair guide he sells and sometimes he sells it with an instruction DVD or two. I hope it did not cause problems for any compulsive Ebayers!

This is the same steel guitar:

This blew me away when I saw it back in 1985. Mike's playing changed the way I approached playing in those days. A real cool innovator.

Ive got to hand it to that guitar. It sure sounds nice and clean on both ends of the guitar. Jim
