I am offering a very special Emmons p/p for sale.
The Serial number is 1067D which, if I'm not mistaken, makes it a 1966 model.
It is black mica with a decal and bolt-on changers.
It has 8 knee levers in addition to the 8 foot pedals.
I should have some pictures up in the next few days.
Thank you so much for your consideration. 
Erv

Erv how are the knee levers set? Specifically the E's on the E9 neck.

If the mica is original and not a mat finish. Depending on the copedent. I could get interested myself. Looks like it might be a excellent deal.

Bobby,
The mica is original gloss mica.
It is an excellent deal.
A steeler who contacted me said he paid $7,500 for the last bolt on he bought.
I plan on taking some pictures today. |

Wow Erv, what a deal. I just want to say that if you have never played a bolt on Emmons, no matter the year, you are in for an experience. To me they have a special something that the cut tails don't have. My gig guitar is a bolt on wood neck and I think the metal necks sound even better. Being a 66 makes it a very desirable guitar.

I have 1066 - this guitar's sibling. Also black bolt on but only 8 and 4. These guitars are amazing. Incredible tone, NEVER go out of tune, and of course look spectacular. Buyer will not be disappointed. Worth every cent.

It's not gone yet but it might be close.
I just got through taking some pictures and will try to get them up.
All you who are interested please send me your email address so I can send you some pictures, I can't get the "upload picture" button to work.
Thanks,
Erv |

Erv was kind enough to send photos of his Emmons to me. They were a little too large, so I had to resize them so they could be uploaded. Some are a bit fuzzy but here they are.
Good luck with the sale, Erv.
