| 67 officially. The odd one may have slipped out after that, but they would have been using up parts. |

| P/p's with wood necks had bolt-ons pretty much until the end of p/p production. |

| I should clarify, bolt on aluminum necks ended in 67, wooden necks always used bolt on changers. |

| Sorry I wasn't more specific. I am buying a 1974 wood neck bolt on, serial # 1963 D. I would like to know how much longer they were made after 1974. |

I think they went on using bolt-ons for quite a while.
A few years ago I seriously considered buying a p/p with wood necks. It was Serial #6413D, and it had LeGrande style pedals. |

| Wooden neck push pulls were made till the end of production/sales, so until about 1985. |

Emmons went to the 6XXX serialization of PP guitars when they began production of the LeGrande, probably 1980 or so. My 1983 D-10 is #6610. It's a honker, too.

| A “bolt on†is most often referring to the aluminum neck models made in 66 and 67. While the wooden neck models do use the same changer mounts as the the aluminum neck bolt on models, calling a wooden neck guitar a bolt on is a redundancy, they all are. Also, calling a wooden neck guitar a bolt on can create a bit of confusion, as the difference between the two is substantial. So, you basically have wooden neck Push Pulls, and the aluminum neck models with their three different types of necks and changer mounts. |
