| Bob, Would you happen to know the first year for the legrandes. Mine is 033-L. I called the factory one time and they told me it was a 1975, however, I bought it new in about 82 J W Day |

| I think the first LeGrandes, excluding prototypes, were sold in 1979. Mine is #084L as I recall...Jerry |

I got mine in either 1987 or 1988, from someone who began to learn steel, lost interest and then put in the case, in the closet and left it there. So I don't really know when it was built. It came with a session 400 amp too.

| JW, I'm trying to find out when Le Grandes were started, mine has pedals like a '77-78 P/P,siler and blak, and sorta wide, not the little ones like on a current L/G... so I was told mine is a late 70's, ser# 011 L has to be sorta early..Someone should put a history of the Emmons guitar together in book form ,it would be a best seller!!! |

| Thanks Bob, Maybe some one else can give us some input. My 033-l has black slim pedals like my Legrande 11, but the L-11 pedals not painted. JW |

| JW, to see an odd ball Emmons D-10, look at Scott's list it's probably one of the last P/P's,circa '78, with a mix of crossover over ear parts, I'm told it's all original , P/P with silver small pedals, and Sperzel tuners, in blue laquer, it's sorta beat up but really kool!! hopefully someday I'll learn to spell and type!! but till not I figure out what that darn third pedal does!!! Later!!! |
