Lately I bought an Emmons Regrande D-10 from one of my friend.
I found the srial # is 477L.
If someone will let me know the year this guitar was manufactured, it will be very much appreciated.

I have tried to access to Emmons Guitar Inc to ask the question ,however,I don't know why ,but I couldn't get throught to them.
If someone will help me to know the birth year of my loving guitar, it will be greatly appreciated.
Someone told me that Emmons Inc. manyfacture
approximately 600 pcs. a year, but I wonder they have been manufactured that many ?

I have serial No 511-L and took delivery on 3/11/88. At that time they were making about 10 a month. I figure that yours should have been made in Dec. 87.

I sold an Emmons to a gentleman in Japan
in 1998. Could you tell me the color
and the number of pedals and knee levers.

Wow !!
It's quite interesting Eddie.
Mine is Black D-10 and 8+5 right now,however, one of those 5 knee levers seemed to be installed afterward in Japan.
Now I'm quite shure that this particular guitar belonged to you before.
Because, there is a word "98" written at inside of the body of this guitar.
What a coincident.
Now I feel like I found a real parents.
Thank you so much Eddie.
