Hey Lawrence - I think have your old guitar - white D10 bolt on? I got it from Lynn Stafford. I'm pretty sure it's an early '67. I took the guitar completely apart and cleaned and lubed - plays like a dream now!

That list is notoriously fallible when it comes to the 60s guitar. Also - your guitar was an invoice number - no D correct? This list doesn't cover those guitars.

A previous owner of #2768 (no D) was given a manufacture date of September 1967 by the company.
I own #2771 (no D) and bought it in November 1967.

That list has sadly done a great disservice to the body of information about Emmons guitars, regardless of the spirit of generosity with which it was contributed years ago.

Tommy - I hope my post didn't come off as rude. I meant no disrespect to you, whom I admire greatly. If it was rude, please accept my apology...

I have your guitar on the list I've been assembling over the past 15 years or so. It could also be fallible since I acquire the information from various sources as well. But I think it's pretty darn close.
My list has 151 guitars on it from 1964 to 1968.
Any way, according to my list, 2767 (no D) is a bolt-on changer D-10, black, mfg. in or around Sept. 1967, and it's owned by... you.

Danny,
I acquired your old #2768 guitar a few years ago from Jeff Bradshaw in Canada. I then later sold it to my friend, Bud Harger in Texas, after I learned from him that he'd owned it many years prior and desired to have it back.
As far as I know, Bud still owns and cherishes this guitar!

Herb - you can amend your list. I own Lawrence's old guitar - #2767 (no D) it's a patent leather White D10 bolt on. 8 and 4.

Lynn, Let me clarify that I have never owned #2768. That information was emailed to me in the late 90's by the owner at that time, Greg Simmons in Canada. He emailed me after I posted in a thread about serial numbers, that I owned #2771.

"Cherish" is the word.
In 1973, I bought #2768 from Duke Goodman in Odessa, Texas. It was shipped out of the Emmons factory in November 1967. Duke was a player and owned a music store in Odessa. I think he was the second owner.
I foolishly sold it in year 2000. It went to John Lazarus, in Arizona, then to Greg Simmons, Jeff Bradshaw and Lynn Stafford. I got it back from Lynn in 2010 (or so).
It's my only pedal steel these days, having rid my fleet of all other extra steels. It is still amazing!
Herb Steiner: This is gospel. Please be sure my #2768 is on your list.
Best regards,
bUd Harger
