Well, I've never claimed to be a knowledgeable person. But if it is indeed serial # 258. No funny business included. Then it should be a Short keyed guitar and pre-dates Jack Strayhorn's affiliation with Emmons.
Keep in mind, It was fairly common for guitars with less popular colors to sit for several years before being completed. Even if this was the case. It should still be a SKH as stated by the owner.
Because, the Lashley Legrandes have a longer body. However, There are few custom ordered long body short key heads out there. Even LII's and L III's. But all have or should have a serial # much higher than 258.
FWIW, If memory serves me right. The Lashley Legrandes ( The Long Body still used today) were introduced mid 1986.

Not saying Rebecca is wrong. But I find it interesting that Buddy Emmons was already touring the U.S. if not the world with a LeGrande in 1980. And they had only sold 77 units by 1983. Unless, yours was one of those that sat on the shelve for several years before it was completed. Just thinking out loud.
