Lee my wife has always been my best supporter . Every time i try to learn something new and i think its right on i ask her if its right . She has a great ear and sometime is to honest ! She is also a singer so she does know how things should sound . G.P.
Good deal Gary, like I've told you before, you're going to love it. I sure like mine.I'd put a picture on here of it but can't get the computer to cooperate.
Tammy you know i can't let you get ahead of me !!! We will have to sit beside one another along with Lonnie Wells with the black guitars huh ? By the way i'm trying to find us a place for a cookout for the July event . The Annex is already booked .
GP did you get that counterforce thingy on yours, I am really not sure of the point of them, I understand it is to help with cabinet drop, but it is a very interesting thing.
Well, today is the big day. Congratulations Gary. A J, the purpose of the counterforce is to eliminate any and all cabinet drop. The fact that Gary is getting a LeGrande III does mean that it will at least have the counterforce on one neck, almost certainly it will be on the E9th if not both. The LeGrande III is a LeGrande II with the counterforce which makes it a III.

Gary, you will love your new Emmons. I picked up my "new to me" LeGrande II yesterday. the playability is amazing. so smooth, the pedal action, the knees, EVERYTHING. These guitars are a sure bet IMHO. I'll post a pic of mine when i get home. Hope you like yours Gary!
Thanks Cliff . You are so right about the Sho~Bud and Emmons . Two of the most famous steel guitar names in the business in my opinion ! There are other great steels also and there is no question about that . I just happen to be on this end of the guitar world !
