John,

1977 does sound a bit late for that setup, it's likely a bit earlier than that, though anything is possible. In the mid 60s when those guitars were developed, most guitars come without levers ...

Jack,
Most S10s like that were standard E9, just with the changes that are normally on levers on the extra pedals. It's seems there would also occasionally be C6 rigs as well.

Steve,
The early Emmons guitars had their components hand fitted it seems, owing largely to to the fact the keyhead end of the necks were angled away from each other to allow room for the tuning keys ...

Andrew,
If I'm not mistaken, it's a pretty simple fix on your guitar to raise the 1st string a whole tone.

Jim,

I should have clarified. The raise scissor should not move away from the stop bar/ endplate when a string is being lowered. It does pivot up and down slightly against the endplate, but not in ...

Daniel,
That's completely normal for a LeGrande, most iterations of all pull changers do that as well.

There really is no reliable way to raise and lower the same string on a Maverick. I have seen a few conversions, but they are time consuming and expensive.

If it's original, it should have a lever ...

My new Stroboplus has a cents offset, if that's what you're looking for.

I'm not a player, so my personal opinions don't carry much weight. I do however, serve a lot of players, and this is the general consensus from working with them and what the market is doing.

The C ...

Nick,

It's a bit tough to explain without visuals, but in essence it works like an all pull in that the split screws tune the lowest note. Rather than using the nylon on the string being lowered to ...

Mark,
We're not in Nashville, but we are there regularly, and our shop in Sevierville, TN can service anything with pedals and strings. We'd love to hook you up!

Duane,

We've got you covered, we'd be happy to help with a refurbishment

The thread size is 8-32, and it is 1/8 inch long, the allen wrench size is 5/64. Any hardware store should have them.

Patrick Timmims in Seattle would be a great resource.

Nick,

The third row of screws harks back to 1964 while the Emmons guitar was still being developed, and the intent was indeed meant to enable split tuning. We do use the hardware for splits, as wel ...

Andrew,
There's no need to "modernize" the undercarriage for it to work as it was designed, Lloyd Green and a lot of other famous players worked them on the road for years. With a good setu ...

We are in Sevierville, TN, we can definitely get you taken care of.

Pictures would greatly help in assessing its age and value, although the 24 fret board should make it no later than mid 65.

The screw itself is an 8-32 thread, 3/16" long or 1/8". The hex socket is 5/64".

Hey everybody

Would someone happen to have a green bridge/keyhead cover for a 6 string Multi-Kord they'd be willing to part with?

It's a scam.

Daniel,

The serials for those basically tell you nothing about the date, the best way to determine a general date of manufacture is by its features. If it has narrow cast pedals it is post 1974, if ...

Having worked on steels of all different designs and vintages, it seems the mild grooving present on all changer fingers produces no negative affects. There are exceptions of course, but I have handle ...

Roger,
It is 8-32. One 3/8 or 1/2 long should do it, available at any hardware store.
