I thought I would not ever make this posting but circumstances & priorities change. 
 Those are not blemishes but reflections
[img]
Awesome push/pull, Emmons setup, 8 pedals 5 knees, polished package, Bowmanized, Alum necks, original pickups s/c. Not perfect but a 9 plus cosmetically, 10 on tone and playability. pics should answer most questions. $3500 plus shipping firm.

Billy Boy, Billy Boy. What have you done?
Guys, this is a super guitar in all aspects.
Whoever gets this guitar is going to be very pleasently surprized. Man what a super fine instrument.
If I wasn't so broke, I'd grab it up in a New York minute.

Dr. "B" How are you? You are right on about this one. My wife and I are getting dangerously close to the age of having to make serious decisions for our retirement including purchasing some property, paying off some bills, etc. I love this one but have been blessed with about 6 or 7 of them over my playing years. This one may be the best or at least in the top two. I have a really good sounding Mullen that is better suited for my playing out so the Emmons has been in the closet for about a month. It needs to be played and enjoyed, but again there aren't many like this out there.
Thanks,
Billy |

Hi Danny, Your words are full of wisdom and I usually say that after I sell any guitar, but Chris and I are gearing up for retirement in the not too distant future and that for us requires some sacrifices. That being said if it doesn't sell it won't break my heart 
Robbie, If you were to play this one 1 time you would find a way to afford it. If it sells whomever gets it will be happy happy happy!!!!

| That is a beauty! And I have heard my friend Billy play this guitar and it has that tone! If I had the funds, this would be my next one. Of course, Billy Tam sounds good on anything he plays! I wished I sounded that good!!!! Billy is a good guy to deal with and anyone wanting a good sounding Emmons, this is it!! |

Sure you don't want to put off retirement long enough for me to buy this guitar?  |

Jack, With this guitar you certainly know about getting rid of a great one.
Danny, If I remember you sat and played on this one at the fair one night so I could go out and listen. I just hope it sounds as good as it did when you were playing it. However your Legrande is one of the best all pull Emmons I have ever heard, it is special, especially with you behind the wheel.
Chris, I really can live if this one doesn't sell but if you really want it we can do a Christmas layaway plan By the way my uncle that you met passed away after a short battle with pancreatic cancer but he really enjoyed meeting and visiting with you.
Thanks guys,
Billy |

Sorry to hear about your uncle, Billy. I enjoyed meeting him as well.
Now, as for the Christmas layaway plan, I just might go for that if we can reach an agreement on Christmas of which year!  |

Charlie, I thought this one was going to the Pacific northwest but the buyer made another great choice. I think I am gonna put her back in the closet for awhile.
