Here is my lacquer LG111 SKH. It was custom built for the previous owner using the last of the SKH parts and has the late model changer not the original slotted one used on the original Shorty guitars.

Jay,

It is hard to say. I looked at it with my magnifying glass (they come in handy at age 78 ), and it looks to me like 2 lowers.

But then what does a two year away "Octogenarian" know? Now I ask ye pahdnah?

Danny,

Hi Bob,

Albert's in Florida. Cases are by Kevin Hatton.

Carl,
You are right. Just returned from looking at my LeGrande II and it looks the same. My early morning eye sight and memory is just not what it used to be.

I think the soon to be Octogenarian is right here.
As far as i can see it's a common 3+2 changer.
I agree that the tuning openings appear large, but i think that's just how they look.
Here's a pic of my SKH as a reference.

Here is mine. A backwards '77 Push Pull

Heres my early 70's fatback recently overhauled and with a brand new fretboard

That's a nice looking S-10, Karen! The undercarriage is sparkling clean. I think I know who restored that beauty. I'd recognize his work anywhere!

My two babies. A black mica push pull and a blue mica LeGrande 11. Both in absolutely mint condition.

Here is a picture of my 2 week old Derby Red D 10 emmons. Trying to get in broke in good.

Here is my 1975 Wood Neck - Refurbished by Bryan Adams.

A friend of mine has this Emmons. Has anyone seen one like it?

I gotta jump on this bandwagon, too. Although I have been, and still am, a proud Mullen player and love Mullen guitars, I've always been an Emmons guy deep at heart. I've only owned two Emmons guitars, both black, and here they are:

My first Emmons, a 1969 P/P that I bought in 1990:



And, then, the guitar that was my pride & joy ... Gary Hogue's first Emmons guitar, a 1976 P/P that I bought in 1991:



If I still had that '76 Emmons guitar, I'd probably still be an Emmons player today. But, I lost that guitar through some sad circumstances and no longer have it.

1979 rosewood pp and 1992 lashley legrande. of course the pp is the king, but the lashley legrande sounds the same...thanks jack

Here are pics of my 67 D-10 8-5 PP S/N 1153-D
