Did Emmons ever make a Wood Neck or Metal Neck Bolt-On with 12 strings?

| I vaguely remember one D-12 in Denver,CO in the 80's. IIRC, the owner's name was Kent Davis. I remember it being a lacquer body, and am almost sure that it was wood necks, as well. |

Ken Albert used to have a D12 p/p with wood necks & bolt-on changers.

| I’ve not encountered a de-facto bolt on(aluminum neck) in a 12 string configuration, the earliest examples I’ve saw are from the early 70s and are either cut tails or wooden neck models. |

I remember Bobby Flores having an S-12 Emmons in the very early 90s, so I know there are a few out there.

I had two s12 Emmons pp I bought from Billy Cooper.
Like some of us I sold them before I had my thinking cap on.
But they were not Bolton. |
