Have you ever seen the underside of Buddy Emmuns? They look a lot alike.

Hi Billy,
Perhaps Bruce Zumsteg would have a record of how he positioned the cluster for John's Zumsteel C6th neck in his build records? Might be worth a try.

Billy, if I'm not mistaken John's last 2 Legrandes went to Forum members. I'm pretty sure one's in the Kingsport TN area.
John had a ton of guitars down thru the years. No telling what changes he experimented with.
One I had the privilege to play. Had the standard 5 pedals 4 knee's C6th set-up plus one pedal and one knee. The extra changes as I remember them.
String 5 down a whole tone. 10 string up a whole.
String 2 down a 1/2 String 6 up a 1/2
Also the traditional pedal 7 had a feel stop between the 4th string A to B.for the Bb note. Even though he had the A's to Bb's on a dedicated lever.
As for knee lever placement. I'm too foggy to say for sure.
Not much help I know. But maybe it will serve as a bump.
Good luck.

Billy, I have one of the last LeGrande III's that John owned or maybe even the last one, I'm not sure. Anyway it is black transparent lacquer, a beautiful guitar. In sun light it appears as a dark black cherry but under ordinary light it looks black. It does have the three lever cluster in the middle for C6th. I played it at the Baxter Springs show and it is still in my HHR but I can get some photos maybe this evening.

Hughey's LeGrande that now resides Kingsport,TN belongs to my picking buddy David Martin. He is a forum member. I am sure if you PM or email him he will be glad to help you out.
I will mention it to him also.

Too bad Green and Emmons didn't use the Day setup. If they had, they might have had a successful career as steel guitarist! |

Just think how much even greater they could have been! Paul would have been over the top, totally!
