Date this p/p Emmons

Post by Craig Villalon »

I purchased a used Emmons D-10 in 1982...the previous owner told me it was a 1966 version, was somewhat ignorant at the time and trusted his story. I had somebody, knowledegable, take a look at the guitar and he told me it was a 1979 version which shocked me. I found a list of serial #'s from Emmons...all of them ending with a D....the serial number on this guitar is 2749A. Can anybody tell me when this was built? It's value?

Craig,
I have a D10 serial no 2720D, which was built in May 1980.

Regards,
Richard
