I've got a D10 LeGrande III black aprons and grey top with eight and five, chrome fretboards and stock single coils that I got from Kurt Kowalski about a week and a half ago. I think this has the best tone that I've ever had on any guitar.
I LOVE IT!!!!!
Thanks Kurt!

Hey, Nick...Great thread...
S-10, 4 Floors, 6 knees...With ALL the "Fixins'"
(Turquoise Mica with inlay)
BTW, Jerry Roller, Didn't we at Emmons build you a D-10 Red Lacqure that (I can't say WHO) got "Nicked" in between the necks while "Under Construction" that I had talked to you on the phone about? Seems to me that was one of your orders..But, it might have been for someone else...I can't remember

Nick,
Both you and Jay have exceeded the Emmons owner threshold as specified on page 321A subsection b2 of the Emmons owner agreement doucument. For that reason, I will assist both of you by taking that "hideous" green wood guitar of yours and that kinda plain looking one of Jays. Since I am such a nice guy, I will even come pick them up for free!...
Wait.. Wait.....hold your applause. I will also include a free lesson from the "Bremond Famous Steeler", me! I will teach you and Jay everything I know on the steel! That should take at least two minutes!
Good Thread Nick! I love that lacquer guitar!

God Bless,
