Have any of you SB Fingertip owners attempted to put wheels on one end of your fingertip case, and a handle on the other end of the case? If so how did it work out? Post a pic if you have one and can, ...

Mike you certainly have posted a terriffic bio of Mickey. Apparently you have known a lot about him or been close in his proximity for many years. I remember a lot of what you have written remembering ...

Okay..considering the PF pedal drops those strings a whole note...what standard knee levers do you use it with the most? Thanks in advance.

thanks guys

At the risk of being laughed off the forum, from what I have heard & read, the Franklin E9th floor pedal is used more with knee levers than pedals 1,2, or 3, right? However, if someone uses the PF ...

No, it was another pic, the pic taken from the other end of the guitar

Someone posted a picture of spring clips on the rods of a SB Fingertip and changer. It wasn't James Morehead...so who might it possibly be. I'd like to see the picture again and talk to who the FT be ...

Well, I guess I should have been more explicit. All I've ever observed is on E9th strings 5 & 10 being lowered a 1/2 from B to Bb. Now, having said that, what combination of pedals 1, or 2 or 3, ( ...

Probably showing my lack of knowledge...but I don't have a LKV on my steel. Question I have is: What pedals or combination of pedals of 1, 2 or 3 with the LKV is most commonly used? I trying to figure ...

When I acquired my FT in 1971 the 8th perdal lowered the 3rd string on C6th, and the 9th pedal had the now standard 8th pedal pulls on the 9th pedal.
This was from the factory in 1967.

Having reti ...

Seems like a few years ago I read on here where someone put the C6th P8 pull on a knee lever. Which one I don't remember, but seems like it was a RKR, maybe. Anyone know of someone who has done this w ...

Back to the PU's of the Fingertip.
I see here on the Forum a electronic measurement called "Ohme's" and that "single coil" PU's are wound anywhere from 15,000 to 22,000 ohme's. Can anyone tell me app ...

Bobbe, good question. "Where have" they all gone?
Ernest, you own 2-Fingertips?

Thanks everyone for all the replies.

Has anyone who owns one of these guitars had the pickups changed? If so, what did you change the PU's to and what was, in your opinion, the results? Considered by some to simply be a "collectors ite ...

Minnetonka makes a "driving moc" that might work for you in this situation. Comfortable, soft, and probably durable enough for the situation you suggest here. Best of luck.

Eric, thanks for the input. I had not thought about P4. I have observed on the web some who do raise both E's to F.

Jay, thanks for the thought. It looks like I may well put the reverse of P6 on P ...

Gary, that's a lot of changing around. I'm not sure THAT MUCH changing around would be for me. --and apparently it worked for you if you still miss that old MSA. I'm pretty much a "standeard" C6th se ...

b0b, that's kinda what I thought. BUT! was also curious if anyone had it on P8 and IF they found any use for it with P7. Those that have it on a knee, I wonder what they use it with? Thanks.
