OK Folks, This a looker and has that Famous Emmons sound. It had been re-mica and C6th neck removed when I got last year.I cut the legs down to standard height, put up lever on and brand new Kluson Butterfly Keys which I understand this model came with when new. As you can see three and five and are polished. Emmons set up, E's on left knee, raise and lower. Right knee left raises 1st. and lowers 6th and right knee right lowers 2nd 1/2 and whole and lowers 9th. This guitar plays like a dream, has that positive solid stop when you press the pedals. This is a push/pull so it is not like butter on the pedals as some describe on here. But most important it has that sound everyone talks about. Case is probably original so it shows signs of wear and tear but still does the job. Serial # is 1618 D which dates to 1972. I am selling because I can't and don't play and have another guitar and I sure cannot play two of them. About to forget that the extra input jack you see is what the controls are wired to. I took it out and installed another jack and wired pickup straight to output jack. It can be replaced very easy. The Price is $2500 plus shipping. I would like to deleiver to the Dallas Show. But I will package and ship. Thanks for looking, J.R. Rose

This guitar has leg bag and guitar cover with it. The pictures do not really show how beautiful this guitar is. It is striking to say the least. I just do not have the proper camera or the proper lighting. J.R. Rose

And Damir, I need to give our mutual friend a great big shout out. Henry Matthews picked this guitar up for me and took the under carriage out and cleaned and reflocked the under side and set it up. He is the one responsible for the great ease of playing the guitar has. Not only is he a invaluable friend he is just a great picker. He has forgotten more than most of us could ever learn. And always willing to share his knowledge. A fine Gentleman he is. J.R.

And I must correct a line in my opening description I did not cut the legs down, Henry did. I ask him if he could do that versus me buying new legs and he did. I should of said legs had been cut down. J.R.

Thanks guys for the nice compliments. This guitar is as clean as the come for a 72 with tone to match.i played it around house here for couple days and it’s a match for my bolt on with tone and playability. The black flocking came out real nice and looks almost factory new. I know of no issues with guitar. I believe it’s all original Emmons now. Some one else put pad on and did a really nice job, no wrinkles in corners and looks factory. I can’t remember if I put six string split on But can easily be done by using A pedal. If someone wants a sharp
guitar with tone to match, this is your deal at a great price. If some had had parts, could be a Beatiful D-10 ,worthy on any stage.
This guitar is priced below market value and if I were single ten guy,this would be in my collection,,very nice guitar at a great price? Good luck on sale sale J R.
Like he said, pictures dont do it justice.

Thank You Very Much Henry. And Thanks Again for the FINE work you did on this guitar. I know I am going to miss this but just need to sell it and other things off before my end time comes. When you are late seventy's that happens. I have lost six close classmates in the last 12 months, sad. J.R.

Hello Folks, I can't believe that their has been no interest in this Beautiful guitar. Am I out of bounds with my price.
Someone make me a OFFER even. I am open for offers. This beauty sounds out of this world. And what a show stopper on stage. Thank You for Looking, J.R.
