Just wondering if all the legrade guitars are allpull?

Doug Beaumier · From: Northampton, MA

Yes, all of the Legrade guitars are all-pull, as far as I know. The changeover took place in the mid 1980's, but there was some overlap... for a couple of years Emmons produced push-pulls and all-pulls, according to what I have read here on the forum.

Mssr. Beaumier is correct. All Legrandes are all-pull, and the company made both guitar styles until 1986 (or thereabouts). I ordered a PP to be custom built for me in 1982.

In either 1993 or 1994, the Emmons company made about a dozen "30th Anniversary" model PPs that were displayed at ISGC that year. They were nice, though standard looking. Except for a gorgeous green lacquer D-10 with custom airbrush paint work that was outstanding.

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?
