The bellcranks seem to be cut and mount like the 14 hole LeGrande Bellcranks.
I wonder if it was experimental or was made during the time that Emmons could not buy parts from their normal supplier due to financial problems.
Strange
That being said, this is still probably a great guitar as it is.
AUTHORIZED George L's, Goodrich, Telonics and Peavey Dealer: I have 2 steels and several amps. My current rig of choice is 1993 Emmons LeGrande w/ 108 pups (Jack Strayhorn built for me), Goodrich OMNI Volume Pedal, George L's cables, Goodrich Baby Bloomer and Peavey Nashville 112. Can't get much sweeter.
I have a very late model Legrande 11. According to Billy Knowles. Mine is one of the last ones made. This one has a later serial number than mine so it may very well be one of the last ones made. The way it was explained to me that on the last Ron was using any parts and cutting corners any way he could. For instance my pedal bar does not fit my case and Billy told me that Ron was making the cases as small as he could to save plywood. This may explain The untypical parts that are on this guitar. I think Jim Aycoth was involved with Emmons on the last. By the way mine has the 14 hole bell cranks and Billy Knowls went through it and did an amazing set up and knee lever addition for me. He is one of the last Emmons true guitar techs.
Richard, I think it is a very,very nice clean steel. I would love to buy it but am over the hill and hitting bottom as another forum member says often. And I am one of these guys that disconnects the control panel. I all ways wanted just the sound of the pickup and amp. That's why they have all those knobs on the amp. Good Luck with your sale. J.R.
