I've got a D10 LeGrande III black aprons and grey top with eight and five, chrome fretboards and stock single coils that I got from Kurt Kowalski about a week and a half ago. I think this has the best tone that I've ever had on any guitar.

I LOVE IT!!!!!

Thanks Kurt!

Steve Tufford lives in Vancour Wa and Tony Glassman lives in southern Oregon.

Don't forget about Doug Jones.

RON PRESTON · Post by **RON PRESTON** » 21 Oct 2003 5:13 am

Hey, Nick...Great thread...

S-10, 4 Floors, 6 knees...With ALL the "Fixins'"

(Turquoise Mica with inlay)

BTW, Jerry Roller, Didn't we at Emmons build you a D-10 Red Lacqure that (I can't say WHO) got "Nicked" in between the necks while "Under Construction" that I had talked to you on the phone about? Seems to me that was one of your orders..But, it might have been for someone else...I can't remember

Steve Stallings · Post by **Steve Stallings** » 21 Oct 2003 6:21 am

Nick,
Both you and Jay have exceeded the Emmons owner threshold as specified on page 321A subsection b2 of the Emmons owner agreement doucument. For that reason, I will assist both of you by taking that "hideous" green wood guitar of yours and that kinda plain looking one of Jays. Since I am such a nice guy, I will even come pick them up for free!...

Wait.. Wait.....hold your applause. I will also include a free lesson from the "Bremond Famous Steeler", me! I will teach you and Jay everything I know on the steel! That should take at least two minutes!

Good Thread Nick! I love that lacquer guitar!

God Bless,
