Could some or all give me some insight on how much a 1975 Rosewood Emmons,D10,8 pedals is worth, no knees,it's exactly as it was when it was bought new,it's in MINT CONDITION,not a scratch on it.The case does'nt have a mark or blimish on it.The guitar has all the original paper work and reciept with it,it has never been in a bar,it was in a church from the time the guy bought it until he died.This guitar is not even broken in.....so what do you steelers think it's worth?

I'll suggest you call Bobbe Seymour. He is VERY interested in unmodified push-pull guitars and can help you determine the value and possibly help you sell it if that's what you have in mind.

Thanks Larry,I don't own the guitar,but I know who has it and might be interested in buying it from him,but I have no idea how much a guitar like this is worth.I don't want to insult him with an offer when it may be worth more and I don't want to pay to much,which is why I'v started this post.

Find out what it will cost to get at least four knees installed and go from there.

If my memory serves me, in 1975 at least 2, if not 4, knee levers were standard on the Emmons guitar.

Regardless, IMHO a 1975 Emmons is not yet a "collectible" but is still regarded as a "player" guitar, so to bring it up to current criteria, 4 knee levers need to be added. Probably at a cost +/- $600, which would of course be figured into the ultimate selling price.

Thanks everyone,Herb,the gentleman that bought this guitar might have ordered this PP without knees because I looked underneath and there are no holes drilled in the red flocking to show any signs of any modification or removing of any parts.
