Please close this. I am going to keep the guitar. Thanks for your interest.
For sale: 1966 Emmons D10, 8x4 standard Emmons set-up, black mica, metal necks, "bolt-on" changers, invoice number 2736. This guitar sounds and plays great. It was set-up by Jim Palenscar a few years ago and it has had mild-moderate use since then. I believe that this is an early '66 guitar due to it having an invoice number instead of a serial number. The guitar has the early solid black top pickups, it sounds sweet and bright, excellent Emmons tone. From what I know and can tell the mica looks original, I am guessing the flocking is original, the pickup selector switch has been replaced, it has a wooden pedal stop bar, the cross-shaft end blocks are the early thick type except for some for the knee lever brackets which must have been added sometime after 1966, I don't know if the pedal bar decal is original or not (it is the less common off-set chevron design), there is a spacer on the pedal bar shaft between the first and second pedal, someone added metal anti-bow strips to the bottom of the front and rear aprons (like what Emmons did on the later guitars)--I don't think that these are original and I have left them on because I figure it can't hurt to have them but they can be removed, it looks like there are holes in the mica under the front apron decal, so I am assuming that at one time it had a badge instead of a decal and someone changed it back to the correct decal, the name/word "CRAFORD" is engraved on the inside of the endplate, the fretboards look like later boards with the darker blue atomic symbols, there are a few dings in the top of the rear neck between the fretboard and the pick up, the mica is a little loose at the top of the rear deck. All of these details should be visible in the photos. The guitar is not pristine and it could be restored, put it plays and sounds great as is. It comes with a newer Thomas case in faux tooled leather and a denim leg bag. The case is in good condition, but there are a few worn spots in the interior material over the riser blocks. The guitar is in southern California.
$4200.
*Will consider trades for EMCI/MCI RangExpander, 14 string Sierra, round front Sho-Bud, early ZB, vintage Norton or Moto Guzzi motorcycle, vintage VW Ghia or bus.
Thanks,
Cliff

| The jeweling on the necks look different. Is that normal for a '66? |

Tony, I'm not sure. My '72 necks are unjeweled, but I know Emmons jeweled necks at the factory.
Thanks,

If you look closely you can see what looks like a "J" in the corner where it says"craford".Could this be one of Jimmy Crawfords' old guitars? Maybe they didn't have a "W" in their punch set!

I just can't even imagine how wonderful that PP sounds. Do you have any use for a Lacquer s-10 PP in partial trade for the bolt on? If so we may be able to figure something out.
Oh lord, I can't stop thinking about your guitar......
Must get sleep now, shoot me a call if'n you might want to do some interesting horse trading.
