I just wanted to say some good words about Billy Knowles and Roger Howard at Steel Guitars East. These guys make a living working on the guitars (mostly Emmons) of the best players in the business. I' ...

The B pedal is fixed, as smooth as the others now. For whatever reason, the tuning nut for the 6th string raise had to be screwed in nearly all the way, in order to tune it. This caused the head of th ...

Well, the lower isn't causing any problems. And yes, I thought about trying a washer if need be. Thanks for the help, I'm guessing something else is binding on that 6th raise. It's completely playable ...

Yeah, you're right, I don't need an SD either. Both of my Sho Buds are S10's and I like em that way. Since he said he's not playing out much, I figured an SD might do it. Hope you find something.

I'll check that Eric. I've noticed there are different length tuning nuts as well. I'll check to see if the lower is causing problems. We'll see what happens.

The 6th string raise needs one more adjustment. The tuning nut needs to be nearly all the way in, to tune the raise. In order to give the tuning nut a little more room, I'm gonna have to access the sm ...

Bob there's a lacquer Marlen pull release on Ebay, current bid is only $667. 3 & 4. FYI

Hey Eric, I took the tuning nut out, did a quick clean and it helped considerably. I'll re-adjust the turn buckles and should be good.
Thank you, to you and Jerry for responding. Hope you had a good ...

Thanks. I did check the knife edge Jerry, as you told me to when I last saw you last time. I disconnected the pull rods on 3 & 6 individually. The B oedal is smooth with 3 connected, 6 is the bad ...

I found a nice ZB D-10 locally, 70-71. The B pedal on the E9 neck is extremely stiff. I checked the pull rod lengths and adjusted them to insure that both the 3rd and 6th string pulls are synchronized ...

Cord checks out, gotta find a tech. Thanks for the reply.

Tried to turn on my Nashville 400 today and it won't power up. Nothing at all. I've tried searching the Forum for this specific problem and tried what's geen suggested. I've un-plugged and re connecte ...

You can buy the same thing by Black and Decker at Walmart for 20 bucks. It runs on AAs and works fine. I bought the separate peghead bit online. No rechargeable batteries to go flat and the AAs seem t ...

Regarding the damaged condition of that Fender 1000 when Tom Brumley first saw it, I recall hearing Buck Owens tell the story of how that happened. Buck, Tom Brumley and I believe Carl Smith, were all ...

Hey Ben
I checked just in case it had come over to me, but no PM here. Hope he buys it from ya.

These Fenders are cool and clean ones are gettin harder to find. Good deal on a cool cable Fender. If I was closer I'd buy it. Good luck on the sale.

I'm lucky enough to live close by Jerry. He's helped me out numerous times, generous, nice guy. He knows ZBs too, helped me get mine squared away. Thanks Jerry

I needed some help with a knee lever on a nice old ZB I have. I e mailed Jerry Fessenden as he used to work for ZB. I drove to his shop to find him in the middle of finishing a new S-10 and 2 Six shoo ...

This is a great deal on an all pull Marlen. I have a black SD 10 just like it. They stay in tune, sound fantastic and are easy to change around if you need to. Good luck on the sale Arvis!

I play mountain dulcimer. A guy named Lucky Diamond up in Vermont built some nice ones up into the early 70s. He sold a leftover to me. I initially bought it as it was small and light enough to haul ...

God bless, Loren. I'm thinking of you.

Thanks Duane. I have a ZB S11 in C6 and I can change the pedals easy enough. I was just trying to figure out if the existing rods would cover it on your guitar. Being different lengths and different d ...

Can I reverse the pedals with the exisiting rods and pulls or would I need to hunt down some new parts?
Beautiful ZB.

Nothing to worry about on that Marlen you just bought .

I've got some copper anti-seize and soldering the wires at the amp end makes sense.
I ordered the Molex tools and we'll see what happens.
Thanks again
