I'm very surprised that Mike is choosing to let this one go. I completely restored it about three years ago and was shocked afterward at what a great sounding guitar it was and I'm sure still is. Read what my friend, Larry Behm had to say after he stopped by to check it out...

The guitar was initially sold to my friend, Ken Pippus but he decided to part with it after discovering the pedals physically just weren't a good match for him.
I later added additional knee levers to it and Ken traded it to Mike, as he wanted a second guitar to match his other LLG II 8x10. You'll notice in the two photos below that all the lever handles were professionally polished as well.
This guitar is priced very well at $4200 shipped. The five additional knee lever kits are worth about $750 alone, (not to mention the polishing and installation labor).
Trust me, the job is not for the faint of heart! There is a lot more than meets the eye, with installing this many levers on an Emmons LLG II. It's all done to factory specifications, using OEM parts.

That's a fabulous sounding guitar. If Emmons pedal placement didn't give me a dripping rash, I'd still have it. Highly recommended. And pretty cheap for what you're getting.
Dealing with Michael was completely pleasant and painless. |
