JCH D-10, 10 & 9, Red Mica, Owned by John Hughey, $5000.00

Joe Garner · Post by **Joe Garner** » 16 Nov 2017 1:03 pm

I have a JCH D-10 with 10 pedals and 9 knee levers that I purchased from John Hughey back in the mid 80s when he was playing with Conway Twitty. The guitar has been stored since I purchased it, as I purchased a ZumSteel shortly after getting the JCH. When I initially bought the guitar, it was on the Day setup, but after a while, I changed the E9th neck to the Emmons setup, but I will change it back to the original Day setup early next week. I am gauging what interest there might be for this. I am asking $5000.00, but open to reasonable offers. Partial trades would be a S-10DF, 3 & 5, from ZumSteel, some Emmons, Show Pro, JCH, etc. Please PM me for pictures and I will try to post some tomorrow.

John played Day set up and looks like this is Emmons now. These are very fine guitars and sound awesome played one for couple years and wish I would have kept it.

Joe, just a thought may save you some trouble, the biggest percentage of players are Emmons set up players and think your chances of a sale would be much better left Emmons. Some lucky guy is going to get a wonderful guitar when it sells.

Henry is right. But you can offer to set it back to Day as part of the sale.

Thanks for the kind comments. Leaving it up to the purchaser is the wise thing to do. I have reduced the price to $5000.00. If it doesn't get any traction at this price, I'll put it back in the closet and keep it.

Well worth the money. JCH guitars don't come up for sale very often. Every one I've heard sounded great. They are among the best D-10s ever made.
