Nice guitar! Nothing else sounds, or feels, like a push-pull.

Enjoy!

I play the same guitar, and I love it. It's my only pedal steel guitar. You can't go wrong with a push/pull.

Nice looking steels!

On my S-10 the guitar seems really well set up, although I play Day and this is Emmons. When I lower 4&8(RKL) the (LKL) that raises 4&8 flops right and pushes against my left leg. Is this how a pp works or is it a binding or set up issue? From what I understand, the LKL was added a few years ago?

I raise and lower my E's the same way you do Russ, and experience the same movement of the "F" lever when I lower the E's. I think that's inherent in the push pull mechanism. Maybe if you leave lots of slack in the "F" lever, this wouldn't happen, but it would make the "F" lever have a lot of travel. It's a good reason to have both the raise and lower on the same leg, as that way your leg is moving out of the way of the "F" lever when you are lowering "E's".

Skip Edwards · From: LA,CA

Hey Russ...
That's exactly the way they're supposed to work...when you lower your E's, the F lever moves along with it.

Hey that looks like my "Fat Back" S-10!

Actually it was, until last week.

The knee lever action is just one of the oddities of the Push-Pull Breed that you will have to accept if you want one of the best sounding Steel Guitars ever made.

I'm glad you're enjoying it, Russ.
The Push Pull Guitar is something that must be experienced over time to truly understand.

I miss it, but ya can't keep everything.

Thanks for all the info guys!

I had a feeling that it was how it worked but being new to a pp I didn't want to mess with it. I've been playing it as it sits because it plays really well and I don't want to send it right out for a new set up. I've had it a week and have come to feel fine with the emmons set up. The funny thing is when I go to my S-10 ZB that is set up Day it feels fine too. On both steels the E's lower on the RKL and raise on the LKL.

The Emmons does not lower the B's so I miss that change but it has the whole step raise on string one and I've not had that change before. I thought I'd mess with it awhile before I settle on what I want on the 3 + 4 set up.

Thanks for all the info.

Joey: It was great meeting you last week!

Skip: I see why Ed went to a PP! Very Happy
