Black Lashley LeGrande II, 8x8, Serial #1733L, Schallers, 108N Humbuckers, Case in great shape. Standard Emmons pedal set-up both necks.
E9 knees: Es on left, LKV raise 2 to E & 7 to G, RKL raise 1 to G# and lower 6 to F# with split, RKR lower 2 to D/C# and lower 9 to C#.
NOTE: RKL string 1 raise has a taller bellcrank to shorten the throw. 1/2 step feel to G is accomplished by the lever's other changes not starting until afterwards.
C6 knees: LKL raise both 3 & 7 to C#, LKV lower 2 & raise 6 both 1/2 tone, LKR lowers 1 & 5 from G to F#, RKL lower 3 to B, RKR raise 4 to Bb.
Please look closely at pics. There are 2 scratches on the tuning gear endplate. Otherwise, steel in great shape and plays beautifully.
This steel has a big, remarkably balanced, Hi-Fi tone with the Emmons Humbuckers onboard. The string note seperation is great!
Priced to sell at $3450 plus ground shipping from 32960 in Florida. Would like to ship before May 22nd.

That's tempting! The guitar is in Vero Beach?

| Hi Roger. We met at the Riverside Theater a year or two ago. I am in Vero Beach. Could meet you in Yeehaw Junction or Lake Wales and off we go! |

Of course, Doug - now I remember.
Just thinking about it at this stage but it looks very nice. Is it a '97?

I'm thinking bout it too. I am near Clearwater, and been looking for a local D-10, as I don't trust shippers & I gotta play it first.
If Roger doesn't take it, PM me.

This is a lot of guitar for a great price, folks. A loaded black Emmons???
I am tempted as I said but I'm about to leave for my Summer gig in ND and I really can't fit it in before I go. If it's still here in September (unlikely) this puppy is mine!

| I like the look of a plain Emmons. I've been playing them since 1980. When I started playing the all-pulls I've just removed the LL sticker from them. |

I'm surprised this hasn't been snapped up - look at all those knee-levers!
Maybe it will still be available in September....

TTT for Doug.
Being an LII owner, I can't imagine that someone who is in the market for a NEW ERA ALL PULL Pedal Steel has not grabbed this baby.
8+8 ? Holy cow, the added 3 Knee levers from the traditional 5 up to 8 are worth near $500 just by themselves !
There may be more expensive ALL PULLS out there but are they better ? Different, sure, but I doubt better.
This is the D10 deal on this forum.
IF I did't own 3 Emmons Steels already I would own this one and never look back. 8 + 8 ? good grief , it's all anyone could ask for.
