I just bought a brand New SD-10 with 3 and 4 Emmons La Grant III from my good Freind Skip Mertz.I should get it in the next couple of weeks.I will think about selling my SD-10 Fessy but i just might keep it as I like it very much and I don't feel I want to part with it.

Depending on how cheap Skip sold it to Sam, it could possibly be called a "Legrant". : )

| I read an interview with Buddy Emmons himself on a website somewhere. There he stated that he had suggested the name as a tribute to french composer Michel Legrand (without the last e), originally as a brand name for the first push-pull guitars. Luckily, they decided that Emmons would be a stronger name. Later when the Emmons company took it up as model name for their all-pull guitar, they obviously got the spelling wrong. |

So what made you switch, Sam?
Going after that Emmons sound or did you have mechanical issues? |

No Tony I just decided I want to try a Emmons and if I don't like it I will sell it and get another Fessy.The fessy I have is great but I want to try something diffrent. Thought maybe it would make me Play and sound better.Hey it is just like a car you get tied of the same old thing all the time and you make a change. Buying a new FrreStar Monday.
