I keep looking at Emmons guitars but I haven't seen any SKH's I keep hearing about.
Does anyone have the pics or specs so I can see the difference?
Thanks,
JB

Thanks Billy, but where's the difference?
Is it in body length, or the tuning head assembly?

The difference is in the length of the key head....SKH = Short Key Head....

| John notice the Key Head on Billy's is about 4 frets long... And in this one, http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=280497 the Key Head is about 5 1/2 frets long. That is the difference. Some say one is desired over the other. |

| Considering one of the primary reasons the keyless guitar came about was to shorten the length of string behind the roller nuts to reduce hysteresis, is the SKH the more desirable one? |

Besides the key head being shorter, the changer surround is different than later LeGrandes.
This particular gtr also has p/p style pedals.

I've read somewhere that the SKH Le Grandes and and push/pulls used the same bodies.
For awhile they were both available, the p/p as the " Emmons Original".
True or false?

isn't the skh body shorter than the later models?
the bottom line is: go practice like tommy white did and none of this matters. |

OK, I see. Mine must not be an SKH as it is about 5 1/2 frets long.
Thanks for the info guys.

yours is a Lashley Legrande ll a different model than a Legrande which is what an skh would be, not a Lashley Legrande. it's also not a push pull or a Lashley Legrande lll.

| Was the SKH produced to emulate the sound of a keyless? I've never played one, but, I've heard that they sound closer to a push pull. Im surprised, after all these years,that no one has produced a steel that sounds like a PP, except maybe a ProMat. |

it was produced to bring emmons into the modern all-pull world and introduced the split-tuning feature at the same time. |

| i suppose the short keyhead was solely a biproduct of trying to fit everything onto the original p/p sized body. |
