DuneRoad3 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Thanks for the info. I was very lucky to find this guitar, and it was a local sale so I was able to check it out before finalizing the sale Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriPicker Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Is this guitar along the lines of the Emmy Lou Harris L200? I've played one of those several times over the last several years and it's an "upper tier" guitar in all ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotneck Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I believe these were only made from 1992-1994 ? Any idea how many were produced ? Ed They've done a few runs of these. I have a recent one that I've had a couple years. I just had it to a local tech for a setup and fret dressing...I'm picking it up tomorrow. I think mine was from a batch of fifty if I remember correctly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played one of those several times over the last several years and it's an "upper tier" guitar in all ways. actually I think the Emmy lou Harris is a different shape, a L1 decked out like a j200. they went out of the box with that one... The J200 Juniors are basically the same body style as the j180 and 185.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanCarlosVejar Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The 2007 and up version of the Emmylou is the J 165 shape (15 inch bout) . It's like a J 200 body shrunk by 2" or a J 185 body shrunk by 1" JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanCarlosVejar Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 JC any thoughts of selling your Emmy-Lou? Sadly, No . It's just too rare . I think that and the J 200 M are probably some of the rarest gibson acoustics out there as far as lefty instruments go.Both of those have pick ups in them ...Everything else I own is purely acoustic.

But for a lefty they are 😉 Most people don't seem to understand that being left handed is a curse when it comes to guitars.We don't have the wide selection that you guys have... I am a great fan of vintage guitars but lefty vintage guitars are very limited and hard to find.So while there might be different runs of ELH's I can promise there are not many lefties.So from my perspective it is rare. I am hoping that when I pass on from this world a few lucky lefties will appreciate my (by then) vintage guitars . JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC I understand that part... theres always a upcharge too if Im not mistaken.. dont get me wrong about the Rare part.. Reissue after reissue in general of the same guitar with a different name or model designation tagged to it is running thin.. Not just the ELH model, but all of the acoustics.. Martins no different..
