Does anybody have an idea of how many Emmons D-10 & S-10 bolt-ons were made?

I don't know the answer, but are you referring to the older, metal neck bolt-ons? ....Because all wood neck Emmons' were bolt-ons.

I have two aluminum neck D10 bolt-ons and one wooden neck D10 bolt-on and two cut-tail D10s. I sure would like to have a wraparound.

Yes, the older 65-67 aluminum necks.[This message was edited by Steve Blazek on 27 March 2006 at 01:38 PM.]

Why don't all of us '65 to '67 metal neck Bolt-On owners post serial numbers. That way we can see the spread between oldest and most recent. I'll start... 1090-D (black mica, of course)

67 aluminum necks. No serial #. Unusual for a Oct 67 model. But that's when it was delivered.And yes it is a bolt on........bb

Well mine is a 68 so I guess it must have been among the last of them??

Mine has the number 2216 stamped on the (keyhead) endplate. It's a red-belly D-10. Two qualifying comments:
- Mike Cass said that number did not appear to be original, and may have been added during a 1986 restoration.
- MC also stated his opinion that it was a very early bolt-on, because of the milling of the neck to accomodate the "new" changer and also the fact that the ribbing on the inside of the (aluminum) neck suggested a '65

I have a black mica D-10 Bolt-on with an invoice number 2283. This is a red belly -- a guitar that has the early red flocking. And, the pedal rods are the first design with the labor-intensive flat ground and angled hook and the pedal connectors are the tie rod ends with bearings instead of the later hexes. It has the all black pickups and the pot is a 100K and the cap is a chocolate drop. The third neck is tuned to -- just seeing if anyone was paying attention.[This message was edited by Chris Lucker on 29 March 2006 at 10:10 AM.]

I have 1041, a black double neck & I just bought a black 6 pedal/ white case single 10 that I haven't received yet, but the seller says the number is 2504 Z.
ever seen a number like that?

Number "14" was the first bolt on ever made,
Yes, the "14th" Emmons ever built was the first bolt on ever made. This black D-10, now has a Texas owner, a prolific collector that has many great and rare Emmons guitars.
But this first "bolt on" was followed by many more "wrap around" guitars before the bolt on was adapted to replace the previously built model guitars.

Which Emmons P-P guitars were the best? All of them!
