Looking for some feed back on this steel. I'm not sure if this is a good price or not. Any comments would be welcome.

$7500 Canadian is roughly $5555 US, not an unreasonable price. a search for '1968 Emmons' shows the last few that sold here were priced closer to $4000 usd but it's been a couple years or so

I'm sorry to hear of Lew's condition and the need for selling.

Jimmy, it looks like the same guitar to me, and it sounds great! What are you referring to?

My poor vision can still tell a badge on the stage guitar, decal on the one pictured. It’s a reason Emmons would replace any decal with a badge, free if so desired, for any owner who returned their purchased guit for adjustment or modification back in the day. Badge has more (Brand ID) visibility! Ditto the great playing, and hope Lew is on the mend, BTW.

Yes the owner of the guitar is Lew Jenkins, origionally from Nova Scotia (many of you may have known him) He played many years in the Showcase Band (of which I am the producer). As Lew is in the hospital, wanting for a spot in the manor, Ruby asked me to try and help her sell it. I'm going back to her place to get more pictures, under carrage etc and will post them on here. Thanks for all the help so far!

Tom, you are a standout guy to take on this task. Attention Fo-Bro’s: not many 1968 Emmons D-10’s left to choose from nowadays, that are not bebop crusted or cat-scratched. Opportunity for one like this is a rare event. Best of Luck as always, Jon Z.
