Emmons legrande 2 and love it! Less weight, Around here I play mostly in church and they don't like the sound of the 6th neck and it is a whole lot less to pack. I have 2 herniated disc in the neck and it has a nerve route blocked 100% on the right side so I had to either quit or lighten up. sent the end plate and had steve fix it and I love it. Just only one opinion out of many.

Had a Dekley D10 converted to SD10 - and then sold it. Didn't convert it to get it lighter or anything, but so that I could get original spare parts for my other Dekleys. Original Dekley-parts are hard to come by these days.

Not too long ago I bought a Dekley SD12 that had been converted from a D12 some time in the past. With the spare parts from the conversion I sold, this SD12 is gonna "grow".

Now I have 3 Dekley PSGs - S10/D10/SD12, all good-sounding and well-working "lab-rats" with some parts from the D10 to SD10 conversion I sold.
Weight isn't an issue for Dekley PSGs, as they're not "made to fly" anyway Smile
