| I had read that the black ones sell faster and that on some of the less desirable colors that it could stay on the shelf a lot longer. That the serial number might date more closely with the date that it was actually made on a black one. |

Lamar;
This is the reply I received from Rebecca Lashley of Emmons Guitar Co. back on April 25th 2007. She said my Lashley Legrande Serial#539L was built 5-24-88. The guitar's finish is DGRAY. 8P&8K, single coil pups, Schaller keys and 11 compensators. H. P. |

| My Emmons LeGrande SKH has a SN of 384L built in 1985 according to the Emmons records. Don't know if LeGrandes and Lashley LeGrandes shared the same SN assignment string or not. |

Mine is 962L and was built in August of 1993.
It could not have been built before then as I sent Jack Strayhorn the laminate for the guitar.
Only one of this color ever built.

| Bill is correct. If he knows his date then anything greater than would have to be afterwards. With his guitar being custom color then it would not have been a body built and shelved. Anything black with a close number would be of same vintage. An odd color with low number could be of similar vintage. |
