Can you tell me what year it was made? Does it have any playing issues? I have a BMI that if I raise the E's to F and B's to C#, when I release the E's the C#'s are about a 1/4 tone sharp. Do you know of any issues like that with this guitar?

Joel,
There are 2 possible problems:
1. The roller nuts on the strings that are not returning back to pitch have froze up and need to be cleaned. If you take the roller nuts off be sure to put them back in the order they were taken off because they are guaged.
2. The return springs underneath for those strings have become weak. Simply cut one link out of the spring and put it back on.

Try the first one and then if that doesn't work try option #2. If that doesn't work give me a call,

Guys, just a little info on this BMI. I was the one who set up the guitar for Dennis. It is extended standard Emmons copedant with 3&5 and the Paul Franklin change on the 4th & 5th pedals. It actually lowers strings 5,6,10,11 a whole note.

As for as playability, the pedal and knee action on this guitar, as well as other BMI's, is as soft and smooth as you could ask for. It stays in tune very well and has tons of sustain. The tone is very smooth with lots of lows and a very broad range. The pickup is a George L's 12-1 which is the 12 stirng version of the 10-1. The guitar has very little wear on it and was likely a closet guitar for much of it's life. The case is like new.
Dave
