Emmons LeGrande, black, 8&8.

Rock solid, fully-functional. Hard shell "Cush-Case" and leg bag included. Serial #572L. This is my non-gigging, session guitar, kept in a smoke-free recording studio. Compensators on E9th neck.

No issues. $3750, shipping included to lower 48. Will be packed well and insured.

Here's a clip of the guitar through a Nashville 400:

Beautiful, warm tone, as you would expect.

Thank you Tommy and Greg. There's always room for improvement, but it's fun to just let it go "mistakes and all" once in a while. The guitar is more solid than I am...

Oh Yeah ! Mark great playing and that guitar certainly has the Emmons growl ! I'm looking at 3/ D10's ( all E's ) across the room right now , a 4th is not in the cards, at least not today !

Best to you. Someone will grab one heck of a Steel.

Thank you Leo and Tony, it really means a lot. "Growl" is a great word to use describing this steel.

Bump up for this beautiful Emmons!

Great rendition of that old tune - I knew I had heard it someplace before. I hope you don't mind me posting this clip of the master himself, the Big "E", backing Nancy Sinatra!

Steel is still for sale. Thank you for that clip, Tim. Just when you think you've heard everything E has done, another gem comes up.

Hi Henry, Thank you, that song was recorded into a Nash 400 with 2 mics. Not much eq'ing with the software, everything from 100hz and below was cut.

The tone of the guitar really does speak for itself (selling plug there...but it's true!).

The Nash 400 settings are:

Bass: 2-3 o'clock
Mid: 9 o'clock
Shift: 800
High: 9 o'clock
Presence: 3 o'clock

Mark,

Very nice playing and superb tone as well!

Folks; this is a great sounding Emmons in really nice condition and it's priced very fairly, especially when you consider that it comes equipped with eight knee levers that also appear to be installed correctly.

Good luck with the sale!

Coming from a guru like you, Lynn, that means a lot. The knees are very comfortable on this guitar and they don't seem to get in the way of switching between necks at all.

There were a couple guys asking the age of the guitar, and the serial number would put it at a late 87' early 88' build.
