If they didn't could a PP be converted?
(This should be interesting ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜)

Marty, I have never seen a 12 string Emmons LeGrande. I believe a push-pull body would be too short to mount a LeGrande changer. I guess anything is possible though!

Marty,
I think a conversion would be possible.
I worked on an Emmons S-10 p/p that had been converted to an all pull at on time and then changed back again to a p/p.
It wasn't very pretty under the hood.  |

Larry Bell has a Emmons 12 string set up with the universal tuning.

Larry's is a p/p.
This has been asked before and I'm pretty sure the consensus was that there was never a 12-string LeGrande.

There are no 12st LeGrandes as far as I know. I tried to get them to build one for years.
I had a U12 PP that was an amazing guitar. Any 12 st PP could be converted by somebody that knows what they are doing. Bobby Bowman did mine.

Bob were the PPs only available on a double body or could you get a 1/2 pad style?

Marty - My S-12 P/P was on a "single wide" body. The neck was centered on the top deck, with no room for a pad. I have seen pictures of S-12's on wider bodies with a pad.
Here is the tuning on the guitar I had ---> Click Here

If you are planning on experimenting with copedent changes for a while. ... my suggestion is to make an Emmons S12 PP your second guitar.

Keep in mind a raise dominates in a push pull.
If you are like me you'll miss the all pull behavior whereby a half step lower combined with a full step raise on the same string provides a net half step raise.
I owned a PP S12 Emmons and wound up selling it for that reason and a few other negatives that prevented me from getting my complete universal tuning on it.
If you are looking for a guitar like an all pull but has the tuning stability with temperature that a push pull has - Kline. It's sort of all pull but with change stops at the end plate not at the pedal rod bell crank like in a common all pull. |
