Topic: Knee Lever Poll - For D-10 C6th Players Only |

Here's another knee lever poll, this one for C6th. I think that most D-10 players lower C to B on the right knee, but the direction seems to be rooted in how your first guitar was set up.
U-12 players, please do not respond to this poll. That would skew the results to the left. 
This should be interesting.

RKL for me. I started out with it on RKR until I bought my Carter in 1999 (started on C6th around 1974 or 75)

I'm sort of relieved that people aren't answering with "don't know". Some people tell me that they don't use the pedals on their C6th neck, but apparently they can still find the C-B knee lever if they need to.

Looking at the low number of voters, I doubt any players not playing C6th (or not knowing what the pedals and levers do) are voting. But, you're right. It would be discouraging if players of the C6th PSG didn't know what or where their pedals and levers were.

RNR for me b0b. That's the way it was set up on my Mullen. Besides, I got 4 pulls on RKL, not sure it could handle another one, it's purty stiff now.
I goofed to CrowBear. It was suppose to be RKR instead of RNR. Forgot knee was spelled with a K instead of N.

I am surprised how even the split is between RKL and RKR.
I use RKL because I learned to play E9th with E's lowering on RKL. The lever on C6th does the same thing (lower the root), so it came very naturally to me.

I have always re-done the setup on all my guitars. Knee levers sharp the strings if I push LKL and RKR, which in my mind relates to stretching the strings (increasing the tension). LKR and RKL are 'compressing the guitar' so it lowers the tension of strings. This is just how I automatically respond. (I have LVL on both steels, but never use them)
Thanx,
Jim |

I've been playing PSG since 1957, when Sho-Bud went into business. When it got to the point that the C to B change came about, RKL was Sho-Buds normal position for that change and I just assumed that that was where it belonged and have always had it in that position! If I recall correctly, the RKL was the first KL to be added to the Sho-Bud PSG and I guess that was the one that Lowered at least the wound-E on the E9 (ยฝ-tone) to Eb.

Besides Lowering the 3rd. string from (C) to (B) on the RKL, I also Lower my 4th. string (A) to (Ab) on a LKL. My reasoning is that my knee moves in the same direction as I would move the bar to Lower a note. I Raise the 3rd. from (C) to (C#) on my RKR and Raise my 4th. str. from (A) to (A#) on a LKR which also corresponds to the bar-movement. When it comes to the E9-Neck, that โReasoningโ is out-the-window!

RKL FTW, I like to keep the drops on the same lever as my e9 to avoid confusion. I have enough problems as it is.
