Hi Clinton,
Try contacting Ron or Bobbe at Emmons; they have always had prompt answers to my questions, and been able to date guitars.

ronlashley@emmons.com

r_lashley@bellsouth.net

Regards
Richard

It's an S-10 Emmons Original, from the early 80's. The two holes in the changer backplate are not original to the instrument.

The pickup is in backwards and the tuning keys have been changed, it's been jerked around quite a bit it seems. How bad has the bottom been "improved"? Whoa!

Hey Bob,
How can you tell that the pick up is back to front? I trust your opinion but I cannot see a difference. I will post some photos of the guts for your inspection as I know you know what you are talking about.
Cheers Bob.

The large amount of over hang on the top plastic piece should be toward the front of the guitar, this one isn't, it at the back,,,,,, player side.
Notice how the strings do not line up with the magnets?

Hey Bobbe,
Cheers mate.
It might be time to get Mr. Screwdriver out and rectify this situation.
