Hi
This has probably been talked about but, How is the quality of the new Emmons guitars as compaired to the older models everyone likes so much. I am thinking of buying a new Model LD10L 8 pedals, 4 knees to add to my collection. Any advice on what options to add.
Thanks
Rich

They are great guitars. I would get the counter force for sure. I also like the comp unit.

| I bought my Emmons 1 and 1/2 years ago. I love it. Took a year and a half to get, but worth it. |

As I read the website the Legrand III is the Legrand II with the counter force device. Am I right.
Would you get it on both necks?

Mike did you have a special order or something. They told me 6 months for a Model LD10L 8/4

| To me, you won't find a better pedal steel guitar than a Emmons. And you see it all the time where somebody who once played a Emmons eventually wants to come back to a Emmons. |

Taking into account a multitude of factors, on balance I would say that the Emmons Legrande III is the finest guitar I've had the pleasure to own and play. Mine is a lacquer body SD-10 with the counterforce and compensators (strings 2, 4, & 8) on the E9th neck.

| I believe the Legrande is as good as any guitar being built today. The counterforce does what it says it will do. I have owned both the LG II and The III and I prefer the way the II plays and sounds. They both have the wonderful emmons sound but they have a slightly differnt tone to my ears. Either is a great choice. The counter force is only available on the E9 neck. This is just my personal opinion. Fred |

| Fred, the CounterForce is available on the C6 unless Emmons has decided to not offer it any longer. I know of several guitars that have it on both necks. The general thinking is that it is most appropriate on the E9 as drop isn't as critical on C6. |

| Roger you are correct. I thought at one time I read on the Emmons site that the counterforce was only available on the E9. I had just made my post here and looked at the For Sale section and there was a D10 with counterforce on both necks. That is why I TRY to practice more and post less. Fred |

| Unfortunately, I have more time to post than practice! I can actually sneak in while I'm at work and nose around. I wish I could do the same with my pracice. Hook, thanks for the post on the Rev settings. I settled on something very close to what you use. |
