The Steel Guitar Forum

Just picked this up this weekend.was wondering if this is a rare color?i had never seen one.guess you would call it teal.im putting some new strings on and about to try her out for the first time.its setup 8 and 5 and everything looks factory.i have a 1980 emmons push pull d-10 but couldn't resist this one once I saw it.thanks chris

I believe Emmons called it a Cayman green, but yes, pretty much a teal green. It was a stock Emmons color and I've seen a few Emmons guitars over the years with this color. I think it makes a pretty guitar.

Wish my SKH was that color.

Dean is right on the color - Caymen Green. I have one this exact color, it's a 1994 model, bought at the convention from Jack Strayhorn. GREAT GUITAR!!! P.H.

Thanks for the info guys the color is what did it for me I had been looking at the legrandes for awhile and when I saw this one I just couldn't leave it setting there lol.thanks chris

I have a LeGrand II in Cayman Green.

I've seen several steels of different brands that were that color or really close.

I thing Weldon played one that color or very close.

Chris, Gorgeous guitar!!!!

That is Caymen Green and was named so by the mica manufacturer, which I thinks was Nevermar. Weldon's guitar was turquoise which was much lighter and more blue in shade.

Thanks for all the comments.i am enjoying this guitar and i think it’s definitely a keeper.thanks again

Chris...

I have an Emmons LeGrande II (8 &7) the same color as yours...and I absolutely LOVE it!

I know that most steelers want BLACK...and that's alright. But, I wouldn't trade mine for one!

Chris,
That's a nice guitar. I have an early-made Fessenden SD10 in that color.

Anybody got a Lake Placid Blue guitar?
