Looking to add extra knee levers to my legrande II. I have the pull rods and bellcranks already

Scott,

Do you find it difficult to access the extra right knee changes and keep the volume pedal consistent? I can't imagine a RKV change

I'd love to see some pictures of your knee lever setups ...

For years I had RKL raise 1 a whole/2 a half and lower 6 a whole tone. It would tend to get in the way of getting that root note on the 6th string with pedals down but I just worked around it.

I re ...

Yes the 3 nuts that can be seen are screwed onto pull rods that bend and go to the changer lowering fingers on strings 4, 6, and 8

I just got a pro III and I'm looking to add some changes. The guitar currently has 14 hole bell cranks mounted on round 5/16" cross shafts. I'm having trouble finding these anywhere.

Thanks guys

Kelcey, are you willing to share how you achieved that? I'm very familiar with how pushpulls work and have done multiple teardowns and rebuilds/mods, but it's not clear to me how a thir ...

I just got this Pro III and noticed this bracket on the underside. Anyone know what it's for? There are pull rods going to the lowering portion of the changer on strings 4 6 and 8

Can anyone with one of these guitars show/explain what's going on with the new top row of holes? I know it's for tuning splits but I'm very curious how it's achieved. Pics/drawings would be greatly ap ...

I have a D10 Legrande II, D10 Carter. Looking for a III

I'm looking to get about 10 of these and they don't seem to be a standard part at the hardware store. Does anyone have a source that isn't ridiculously expensive? 'Hollow bolt' doesn't seem to turn up ...

That drawing is actually where I got the idea, with the “push directly against raise finger” I haven’t done anything with half stops or splits yet beyond the half stop on string 2

I tried it and so far it’s worked really well. When the raise finger is pulled it hits the lower rod and pushes it back- which just compresses the spring on the push rod by the bellcrank that is act ...

The traditional pushpull setup places a lock collar on the pushrod where it connects to the lowering finger in the changer so that the pushrod pushes the lowering finger. If insufficient slack is pres ...

I learned how to play on an 8x4 and recently got an 8x5 with LKV having the B lower. Up until now I've gotten this change by dropping back a fret and using the B pedal and F lever together. trying to ...

That's some good info guys, thanks. I looked into "string hysteresis" and seems like it has to do with the string slipping slightly against the changer during the lower and then hanging up i ...

I have this problem with both my pushpulls and I'm not sure what is causing it. It's most prominent on the thicker strings, for my example I'll use the low C on the c6 neck.

I tune the low C. I rai ...

I'll be there, any specific songs we'll be playing?

great, PM'd you my number

I need some Emmons single coils and want to rewind some. Would also just take the flatwork/magnets.

Anybody got any broken stuff laying around?

Looking to buy a handful for a Legrande I recently got and want to add changes to

Carter D10. Emmons setup. 4th pedal raises D# to E. Not sure about the C6 Copedent, never played it in 9 years of owning the guitar. 6th knee lever is LKR for the C6.
