| I'm no expert but I think it's just the bellcrank holes: 7 for the Lashley LeGrande and 14 for the LeGrande II. |

| My '93 Lashley Legrande has 14 hole bellcranks. I think the earlier ones had 7 hole bellcranks. I may be wrong but, the only difference I can tell between my Lashley Legrande and a Legrande II is the decal. Maybe some of the Emmons experts can jump in on this. |

The only diffence is the bellcranks.
The early LeGrandes with the 14 hole bellcranks didn't have the II designation.
I ordered a II decal from Emmons and put it on mine. |

| My Lashley LeGrande also has 14 hole bellcranks. However, the decal only says Lashley LeGrande. Since I bought the guitar used I didn't know if perhaps the decal may have been changed prior to my ownership. I'm not aware of a 7 hole bellcrank. The Emmons catalog shows 4 hole and 14 hole bellcranks. Thanks. |

My LeGrande ll serial #1390 something has the four hole bell cranks. A couple of the bell cranks for the knee levers has the 14 hole.

The difference between a Lashley LeGrande and a Lashley LeGrande II is the axle.
Lashley LeGrande 1/2 inch OD
Lashley LeGrande II 9/16 inch OD.
So the axle of a Lashley LeGrande II is a bit thicker.Because of that the left/right leg ( pillow mount ) and the bridgefingers are a slight different.
For the rest ( besides the decal ) no differences.

I thought the original LeGrande had a shorter keyhead than the II.

The Lashley LeGrande plays and sounds better.
That should clear things up. |

My Lashley LeGrande is a long keyhead with a Lashley LeGrande decal.
The cross axles are 5/16" and square.
All bell cranks are 4 hole.
From recent info on the guitar recieved from Rebecca Lashley at the Emmons Guitar Co. the guitar,ser#539L was built 5-24-1988.
This guitar has not been altered. |

Harold,
I believe Jack was referring to the changer axle diameter. I didn't know they made a change to 9/16" from 1/2" on LeGrande guitars. The push-pull guitars that I have worked on all have had 9/16" axles. I guess bigger is "better"
