This is a nice little guitar...Light to carry, plays fine, in great shape (not perfect, who is?, but great), great design, easy to work on & change...and It is a nice shiny deep black...Made in 2010. $1,700 + shipping. New price would be $3,100.
The keyless head with tuning knobs is great, no tuning wrench required as other keyless designs do, and the short string length after the nut keeps the throws short and odd harmonics down...really easy to change strings, loosen the screw, do one quick wrap around it, tighten, and you are good to go...and it never breaks strings.
I've decided to "standardize" on another brand just to keep it all the same for practice, gigs, etc., and am in the process of switching over. This one has been sitting in the practice space for one of my bands, played only 4 hours per week..actually less, counting the time we spend talking and drinking...
Standard Emmons, RKL does G#-F# (string 6), love that V chord with LKR. RKR does D>C# and D#>D>C# (but I have it adjusted to stop at D, which I use a lot more, easy to change back if you like, just screw in the nylon nut and reset the lever motion stop screw.
No, Mooney isn't included....

I had one of these little keyless guys for a couple of years. It weighs 26 pounds by itself and 42 total in the case.
These are the perfect portable steel for gigging or practice. Good tone and easy to play. If I didn't have a little Pro-1 I would jump on this.
Good luck . . . . . . |

The GFI spacing is 2 5/8" at the nut, 3" at the changer. And I forgot to mention...the GFI is lubricated for life at the factory - everything moves in bushings that need no lubrication. The nut isn't even a roller nut, because the strings don't move over it in a keyless changer. Very elegant...
Will never gum up or stick on you....
