Can you help me date this push pull please?

[John Davis]

I have a massive clue in the fact it had LeGrande Pedals when I first owned it so I think it might well be in that changeover time. I replaced them with the old Emmon's Narrow pedals that I prefer. You can see its not a fat back and it has the tulip tuners but the serial number gives little info as you can see in pics. be glad of any help?

Not sure if pics are uploading

[Dave Grafe]

Try resizing your pics to a smaller resolution

[John Davis]

Just sent them to myself that sometimes makes them smaller

Dave if I mail them to you could you post for me?

This is NBG its well above my pay grade to post pics I am a complete Muppet!!!

The only stamp under says 187 ST

[Dave Grafe]

Looks like you got it now

[Dave Grafe]

Here's what I've got, doesn't look like much help

[John Davis]

More by luck I think Dave, hope someone can nail this one down I don't know when they stopped making these but my other Emmons all have micky mouse ears tuners
And its the first p/pull thats ever come to me with Le Grande pedals

[John Davis]

I have seen that chart before I think its right on the D10's and I have the first fat back made in 71 but I think the SD10's numbers are all over the place

[Mike DiAlesandro]

I would guess late '70's. I think they started using the tulip tuners around '75 or so, and with the LeGrande pedals, probably puts it around '79-79.

[Dave Meis]

Here’s mine. Bought new in 1979.. tulip tuners and a DST # …

[John Davis]

Thanks for the help, no idea how many Dst's they would put out in a year but from the numbers on the 79 and the tulip tuners info I reckon 1977 would be a fair guess.
Thanks again for the help.

Arent they Kluson 'Butterfly tuners?

[John Davis]

Don't know what you would call them but different to the micky mouse ears type on my 71

[Ron Funk]

Hi there friend John !

Those Kluscon 'Tulip tuners' would put it toward the end of the 70's.

My '79 D10 PP has same type of tuners. Still work great.

Thanks for the input Ron I reckon we just about nailed it down within a year or two, the fact that it had LeGrande pedals on it when it first came to me confused me some, I had not seen those pedals on a push pull befor.

My 74, according to serial number, has the tulip tuners. It’s a D-10 rosewood mica.
