Just make sure you act like a gentleman. 
It's a single with a bolt-on changer and aluminum neck. The serial number is 1037 S.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

The bolt-ons were only made for a very short while... was it '66? It may have only been one year.
from some Buddy commentary on the subject:
| Quote: |
| The wrap-around neck on the original guitars was replaced with the bolt-on design some time in the mid sixties. That change was short lived because the bridge was bolted to the neck, which defeated the purpose of the independent wrap-around design. By the end of 1967, Ron went back to the wrap-around neck with a cutout in the tail end. This cut-tail design has remained the standard for all Emmons guitars. |

edited to add: wood-necked p/ps all have bolt-on changers... other than that it seems like 67 was the end of the line, at least for aluminum necked guitars.
Someone mentioned a while back that the sales records are not as well-kept for the S10s, so you might have a harder time dating this particular one... glad to see you finally got your push-pull itch scratched...[This message was edited by Nicholas Dedring on 23 April 2004 at 10:57 AM.] |

| It is neither flat nor fat. It is indented. [This message was edited by Lawrence Lupkin on 23 April 2004 at 11:03 AM.] |

Thanks Nicholas. It's a goodun' too. Just got it cleaned up. Sure has a wonderful tone. Maybe it's because it's black.

I have SN."1002 D".It is a "wraparound". Possibly the last one made of this type.It should be a bolt on by all reports, but it's not.

(I asking the experts here)
Doesn't a "non-FatBack" rear apron indicate mid 70s or later?

"Fat Backs" or non-cut up rear aprons, were built along with some "cut backs" from late '70 till late '73. Either could be ordered during this period of time.

| It was my impression that bolt ons were only made in '66 or '67. Am I misguided? |

People have been telling me that for years Howard.
I tell you this baby sounds great I left it at 4 + 4 and the tone is to die for. A little TLC was all it needed. |

Still looking for that elusive date. Hey, I thought the people on the forum knew everything! Man, this is almost as disappointing as finding out that Santa Claus doesn't exist.
