Hi Skip,

I bought your old '93 Emmons #1034L when it was on eBay several months ago from the guy that I believe you sold it to. I refurbished it and sold it to a man back east who is very happy with it. I'm sorry but I doubt if he'll be selling it anytime soon.

Does this look familiar?

Hi Skip, I remeber that guitar. It was a beauty. glad to hear from you here. I still play the black LG II I got from you. I liked it so much, I bought another one just like it from Allen Howington to keep one set up at home and one in the band truck. Good luck in your search.

the steel shown in Lynns post is my old guitar. I'll keep looking. I have probably the most beautiful LGII
steels I think was ever built by Jack. One of the last he did I think? it's a laquer 8x9 with every option you can get. it has tuning comps , d tune stops , plus? tuners are white , grey, red, and blue.
2 pc Thomas western tooled case in brown. I'd like to get Jack to go thru the guitar and set everything up again for me. I used to be able to do it, but its been too long now. some of the pedals have been shaved 1/2 inch narrower. blond birdseye maple top and rosewood or coco bolo front. I tune to a D as per my conversation with Buddy cpl yrs ago. I will try to post pics sometime. Stopped playin almost 10 yrs ago. but maybe I can get some chops back. I wanted my old LG to keep at my store. Again thanks to all.

Skip I think this is it. Sorry I didn't see it was a D10. But this was yours a long time ago.
