My wife and i will traveling to Burlington N.C. on July 17 th . to pick up my New Emmons LeGrande lll . We can hardly wait . This will be a first for me . I have never owned an Emmons ,- with Mica and '' BLACK '' !!
I know my buddie Rick Johnson in K.Y. will be happy for me ! My guitar was built in the time frame that Emmons told me it would be . Thanks Rebecca / Ron . G.P.

Congrats, Gary. You've got yet another looooooong month till you get your new horn.

I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

I noticed you said "We can hardly wait". It's nice to have a supportive spouse, isn't it?

Lee, from South Texas

Lee my wife has always been my best supporter . Every time i try to learn something new and i think its right on i ask her if its right . She has a great ear and sometime is to honest ! She is also a singer so she does know how things should sound . G.P.

Good deal Gary, like I've told you before, you're going to love it. I sure like mine.I'd put a picture on here of it but can't get the computer to cooperate.

Gary, you will not be sorry!

Gary,
The wait will be forgotten when you have the pleasure of sitting behind it!

Emmons were on time with my delivery also.

Enjoy!

Richard

Gary be sure and get your hat.

congrats to you!! Great Guitar. North Carolina is beautiful that time of year. Have a safe trip!

We all are excited for you. You will have it at the OSGA jam in July? I'm looking forward to that.

Ya know, I know someone who can fix that backwards setup.... LOL...

J.W. the wait time now is 44/46 weeks . We are looking forward to the trip as you already know .

R.J. Maybe you can take the template off of your Emmons and give it to me !! We do have to redo our wills . Hint ! L.O.L.

Thanks Richard ,i'm sure you are right . Yours looks great ,thanks for sharing a picture .

Tammy you know i can't let you get ahead of me !!! We will have to sit beside one another along with Lonnie Wells with the black guitars huh ? By the way i'm trying to find us a place for a cookout for the July event . The Annex is already booked .

Bobby i will have to get two hats maybe .

Congrats, Gary! I know you will love your Emmons as much as you love your Sho-Bud. Sho-Bud and Emmons....it doesn't get better than that!

Three hats,and a XXXL Emmons t-shirt for me.

GP did you get that counterforce thingy on yours, I am really not sure of the point of them, I understand it is to help with cabinet drop, but it is a very interesting thing.

Well, today is the big day. Congratulations Gary. A J, the purpose of the counterforce is to eliminate any and all cabinet drop. The fact that Gary is getting a LeGrande III does mean that it will at least have the counterforce on one neck, almost certainly it will be on the E9th if not both. The LeGrande III is a LeGrande II with the counterforce which makes it a III.
Jerry

Thanks

Gary, you will love your new Emmons. I picked up my "new to me" LeGrande II yesterday. the playability is amazing. so smooth, the pedal action, the knees, EVERYTHING. These guitars are a sure bet IMHO. I'll post a pic of mine when i get home. Hope you like yours Gary!

I talked to Rebecca last week, and she said there are 15 new Emmons that will be ready to ship the week of July 4, and they're making cases right now.

My guitar is one of the 15. Whee!

It's a black (natch) SD-10 with 4 and 5. It will be my first new PSG.

I'll post pics of the new baby when she arrives.

My wait will be 67 weeks tomorrow.

Charlie

Thanks Cliff . You are so right about the Sho~Bud and Emmons . Two of the most famous steel guitar names in the business in my opinion ! There are other great steels also and there is no question about that . I just happen to be on this end of the guitar world !

67 weeks ...strewth, the 5 year wait for an Anapeg isn't so bad after all !!

Hey Gary congratulations on your new guitar.What kind of pick ups did you order? I still really like the BL 705 you sold me.
