:D Hi Joe . My wife and i made the pad covers for the L.D.G. for lots of folks . We also made them in black with gold embroidery . We can make them in different colors . Whatever the fabric stores have in stock at the time . We can also order colors they don't have in stock at the time . G.P.

Gary, I was wondering if anyone was going to sneak in an LDG into this thread! :D I know the original poster no doubt meant single neck on a single body frame, but the LDG would most surely be classified as a single neck guitar too! :eek:

Looks like natural and red finish is most popular.

Wonder why people don't show off their Emmons guitars? Seen one seen them all ? Could be !
