Emmons Legrand-II D-10

Roger Hurst · Post by **Roger Hurst** » 22 Jun 2009 3:48 pm

Emmons Legrand-II, 8 & 9, Jerry Wallace TrueTones, new strings, near perfect condition and sounds awesome. Only played out of the house a couple of times in non-smoking venues. Case is also near perfect with very few scuffs.

Basic Emmons set-up with Franklin pedal. 4 pedals and 6 levers on E9th. 5 pedals & 5 levers on C6th. C6th is basic Emmons but with the 6th pedal on the RKL so it is easy and fast to grab any pedal combo of 5, 6, & 7 at will. $3500.00 plus shipping to lower 48.

This is an excellent guitar, I'm familiar with
the guitar from playing it myself at Rogers home.
Very good, nearly new condition, sounds very robust.
All the hardware below feels nice and firm, nothing
worn and loose.

I have also played this steel at Roger's house. It's a great feeling guitar, superb sound, and Roger is very particular about taking good care of his things. This guitar has been taken good care of.

Wow, Roger really takes care of his equipment and is a straight-shooter. What Roger says is his word. Just like Clint above, I've been to Roger's music room and played this guitar and it is a smooth, clean, great sounding guitar. I'd buy it myself but I don't think my wife would appreciate me doing that given I just bought a Zum several months ago and she is still recooperating from that.

Thanks for the compliments guys! It will make a really nice guitar for someone who hasn't been hit by the economy.

That's a pretty guitar. I really like that formica.

Tyler...

You should own this Emmons.... You would look good behind it and it would be your chance to find out that teal green does sound as good as black (Heh, Heh) I'll even bring it to Branson for you!

Missed you at the jam last Sunday. Hope you are doing well. Catch you in July.

Roger,

Randy Gilliam took all my money last month or this would be "MINE". I will have to check and see if mama has any stash in her piggy bank.

Beautiful Guitar, should be sitting next to my PP.

Tyler, where did the Rosewood LG II go ?

David... I appreciate your interest in my Emmons. i can tell you from the experience of being married that my wife may have the money in her piggy bank but me getting my paws on it may be another thing. (Heh, Heh) Hope she lets you have it. It is a pretty guitar.

Tyler's a TRADER! He don't play Emmonses anymore

But I did see him with one on the Gene Williams TV Show the other night.

Yeah Nick.... Tyler is on heck of a steel player. He'd sound awesome on a 2X4. I think he really likes the teal color of my Emmons. Maybe he would buy it and strip the formica off to stick on his G2.

Roger! That guitar is just beautiful!

I know everyone seems to say this but, if I had the dollars, etc, etc.....

I mean it! If it's still there when I return from this gig - and I hope we'll be able to hook up, you, me and Russ - maybe I'll be able to seriously consider it. I never seem to have QUITE as much money as I expected, but you never know. You'll sell it soon, I'm sure - it really is a beauty, and it's loaded, too.

I've loved that colour ever since I saw Dolores' SD-10.

Keep well - I hope we'll see each other soon.

Hi Roger.... Good to hear from you. Sorry I missed you when you came thru town on your way out west. Hope your gig is going well. Maybe you can eek out a couple of days on your way back to Florida soz you, me, & Russ can put together a good old fashion jam session. Russ and a killer lead player have hooked up and formed their own band and are absolutely smokin' hot. Hope you get to hear them sometime. Take care.

Can't believe this hasn't sold yet, I've seen and heard this Steel. It sounds as great as it looks. If I didn't have a new steel on order, I'd be all over this. Good Luck Roger. Larry Baker

Hi Roger, Has this been modified in any way?

Roger Guyett · Post by **Roger Guyett** » 6 Jul 2009 1:26 pm

Bump for a great looking guitar!

Brian....
Thanks for your inquiry regarding my Emmons Legrand-II for sale. Sorry for the delayed reply to your question, but I have been in Nashville at Mike Sweeney's Steel Guitar Boot Camp in Nashville since last Sunday.

Yes, It has 9 knee levers (Had 4 when I bought it and I had Russ Wever add 5 more levers and he did a beautiful, factory quality, job) Also, It had Lawrence 705's on it when I got it and it sounded dead.... so I put Jerry Wallace TrueTones on it and it came alive like you wouldn't believe. It is just an awesome sounding and looking guitar. You probably noticed that I also removed the Legrand-II decal from the front because it was slightly crooked from the factory and I am a real stickler for stuff like that. Otherwise it is an Emmons Legrand-II. Lemme know if you have any other questions.

Larry Baker · Post by **Larry Baker** » 8 Jul 2009 4:40 pm

Roger, don't know if My new one will be here for
Branson or not, but St. Louis for sure. See you in Branson real soon. Jean and Larry
