Here's the link to PP serial #s on the Carter Swapshop site. I couldn't find #6413. Good luck on your quest.
http://www.steelguitar.com/resource/pushpullinfo/d10pushpull_sn.htm Also note in the pictures the early LeGrande style pedals and the black knobbed Klusons. If I were to guess based on those pedals, this steel would be early 80's, right near the end of the push-pulls.[This message was edited by Doug Jones on 19 May 2005 at 10:33 AM.] |

6413 (or possibly G413) is stamped on the underside of a ledge on the changer endplate adjacent to the E9 changer. A reliable source has informed me that 6413 is not an Emmons serial number. I have been all over the underside of this guitar and that's the only number I can find.
Someone please tell me where the SN is located on a push/pull.
Thanks,
Charlie |

I have received info on the Emmons SN location (Thanks John!). That seems to be where my 6413 is. Here's a pic.

6413 most certainly is an Emmons serial number. When the company started making LeGrandes, the PP's were switched to a 6000 series numbering scheme. I had a 1982-83 PP that was a 6300 number.
Yes, it took over a year to get a custom built Emmons guitar even back then.

I have received info on this guitar from Emmons.
"This particular PSG was built in 1981, Mike Johnson was the original owner. Set up originally was 10 pedals and 7 knee levers w/ wooden necks. Back in the early 80's Ron Lashley Sr. used Invoice numbers as the serial numbers that is why we did not recognized it."
I can see where pedals 9 and 10 were attached. What would these two pedals usually do?

Holy smokes, having not spent much time around a D-10, I just noticed the size of the 10th string on the lower neck.
Wow, you could clean a drain with that string, or else maybe moor an aircraft carrier. Beautiful machine anyways.[This message was edited by Ray Minich on 20 May 2005 at 03:14 PM.] |

There's holes in my guitar where stuff should go, and that's not cool. I'd like to put those two pedals back on.
What would the 9th and 10th pedals usually do anyway?
I've got some bellcranks and a few collars, but it looks like I'm going to be on a parts hunt.
