What year is this Steel Guitar?

Post by Robert Jones »

Good morning everyone. I have been given the task to work on a steel guitar from a lady from my home town. It belonged to her late husband and she asked me if I could find out how old it was. It's an Emmons D10. Legrand. I found the serial number and did some digging but couldn't come up with anything. So I'm reaching out to you for some help. The serial number is: 674L Thank you in advance for any help in this matter. Robert

Robert, off hand I'd say late 80's. My Legrande 1153 L, is a 93 !

Thank you John for your reply. The guitar is in really good shape. I was rather surprised when I went to pick it up. This is the first Emmons I've worked on. they sure are different from my Mullen. I'll pass on this information to the owner. Have a blessed day sir. Robert

The end plate would have been stamped in 1990.
