A friend has bought an older "Fuzzy" S10 3+4 which seems to have a pull-release type undercarriage -- the question I have is what is the correct way to tune the pedals and knees ? It has Phillips head type screws on the end plate... and nylon tuners on the ends of some of the rods underneath - I have no experience with this type of mechanism so any advise would be gratefully received. The guitar has a nice bit of natural birdseye in the body, very much like a ShoBud with an ali neck.
thanks

If it's pull-release, it might be like the old MSA sidekick/redbaron where the levers are tuned with the pegs and the release are tuned with the set screws...
Perhaps pics would help the more experienced.... |

| That is right for the older pull-release steels like a maverick or sidekick. Turn it upside down and study how it works and it will make sense to you then. The Stage One is a pull release system but you adjust the raises on it with nylon hex tuners like an all-pull and lowers with allen set-screws. I could not picture how it worked till I seen one and then it was clear as day. They are all pretty simple once you look them over underneath and see how they designed it. |

Thanks guys, I don't actually have the guitar but had a quick look at it last night ! I will have to have a play around with the mechanism once I figure out how it functions.
