Thanks fellas. You’re right Mike! Can’t hurt to give it a try

Thanks Mike. There’s one for sale to me locally at a very good price. Also being a bass player, I’m still tempted.

Anyone have any experience or opinions of for steel?

I swapped my ZB from Emmons to Day no problem, can’t imagine the reverse would be any different. Just take good note of which holes the rods are sitting in on the yokes, and which holes the yokes th ...

Very saddened to hear this news. I still remember opening the case of the Push Pull I purchased off Lynn ten years ago and my breath catching. It was like a brand new instrument. It still plays like a ...

They don’t need to strictly be Ma6 chords. Ma7, Ma9, or Ma6/9 chords work just as well. In the key of G, obviously B pedal on 3rd fret for a Ma6 chord, B+C pedals on fret 5 for a Ma9 chord, E lever ...

I really love using the 6th diminished harmony system, though it does have to be used judiciously in music outside swing or jazz. It lays out beautifully and intuitively on the C6 Neck, but is a littl ...

Thanks for the replies all! I have a 10 string BJS bar that I love, but for some reason I was under the impression they were not being made any more. And I also thought Clinesmith were currently not m ...

Hey there. I’ve been sidetracked for some years by pedal steel, and when I went to find my eight string bar, it’s nowhere to be found. So, wanting to get back into some non pedal, I need a new bar ...

Thanks again for the response Rick! I was eventually able to see the guitar in person and I ended up jumping on it as it was in such great condition and a very reasonable price.

Calling Rick Kornacker! I managed to get some more pictures.

Thanks for your input all! I had clocked that the changers look like shobud changers. I’ll try and get some more info and pictures from the seller.

Perhaps a one inch lift kit, if a tall player needs it.

Thank you Kelcey. Much appreciated. I was aware of the springs.

Can anyone tell me the size/thread for the pickup height adjusting screws on this 1971 Push Pull? Two of them rattled loose in the case and were lost on stage as the guitar was removed from the case. ...

What can you tell me about this Marrs? Era etc. it’s 8x3. Also, how easy would it be to source a knee lever kit for it? For sale local to me. I haven’t seen it in person, but it has apparently bee ...

Thanks for all your replies!

I had to an emergency reconfiguration from Emmons to Day, and if you look closely at the photo, you can see the E lower rods are bent from pulling them out and reinstalling, so I’ll replace them and ...

That’s the info I needed. Thank you both.

Question for the Emmons brain trust. Do the screws marked in the photo bellow attach to the keyhead? I need to take the endplate off to change some long lowering rods, and need to know if I need to un ...

Thanks all! Much appreciated.

I've been contacted by a friend of a friend who was left this steel by a recently deceased associate, and is trying to get a sense of its value. I haven't seen the steel in person, it's a good distanc ...

Great photos, thanks Mike.

Thanks Eric! That’s very helpful!

And here's mine, Tim. Reason I'm particularly interested to see Mike's undercarriage is that my knee levers, particularly on the right knee are far too far apart to be comfortable, and I need to do so ...
