Please clear up the different changers,and
Fullback and what years this took place.
I hear terms like wrap-around cut back but I don't know.
Thanks
Chuck

by "fullback" I think somebody meant "flatback" = no cut out on the inside apron.Made in 1972. I believe they're considered more rare. Perhaps a more rigid cab and .......better tone?, anyway...I like to think so cause I own one

Somebody will probably post a site with in this thread of various pics and discriptions of the different models.
btw...thats a hell of a deal for a flatback p/p in very good shape w/pack-a-seat in b+s.

Chuck, a lot of these changes flowed into each other and there was no definite "cutoff" point between most model changes. Most "fat-backs" were done between '70 and '74. But, you could also order the "cut-up" back during these years if you really wanted one. I love all P-P guitars, the fatbacks really get me though. Strong, great tone, good availability,Etc.

I have 2 '75 P/P's, one is White mica and has the full back, the other is Black Lacquer and has the cut back.

Here's a breakdown of the various necks and guitars during the 60's-70's. http://www.cadvision.com/laceyj/

That's a beauty, Jay! One of the nicest looking Emmons guitars I've seen.

Thank you gentlemen. This forum and Bobbe's forum is only place a man can get the facts in a timely fashion.
I'm proud to be a member of both.

Cool Emmons Jay. That would be a Fullback or
Fatback with a cut-tail changer

Changer is the "bolt on" type, as were
all the wood neck models in the 70's.
