Oh Boy have I been waiting for this one. Emmons D-10 8/5 SKH #60L Complete rebuild with 14 hole bell cranks, Heads drilled out to accept Grover Tuners, compensators on all lowers on E9th. 17.5 single coil pick ups. One inch above standard legs & rods. Longer black knee levers, updated LKR & RKL knee levers.
I can't say enough about how fantastic it is to work with Billy Knowles, and how great it is, to do business with him.
What a great great job. Thank you Billy Knowles!!!
God Bless,
Lee McGuire |

All I can say is WOW!!! What a great sounding and great playing SKH. Billy out did himself on this one, everything I dreamed of, and much much more. I owned 97L SKH for 25 years, sure wish I would have kept it and had Billy do his magic on that one, way back. Wish I had done this years ago. Amazing the difference between 4- hole and 14 hole bell cranks, although it's much more than just that.
Thank you so much Billy Knowles
God Bless,
Just outstanding and worth every penny,

That is beautiful. Wish I’d known about the 14 hole bellcranks when I had mine.

Great Axe, I bought 97L in 1981 from original owner. These SKH D-10s are fantastic, made more so by Billy Knowles. Great picture.
God Bless,
