I acquired this 14 hole Legrande last spring and had Billy Knowles make and install a reversing LKV for the E9 side and moved the old LKV to the C6 side. I
added the Bill Lawrence XR-16 pickups and now it plays and sounds great! The body is 40# in the Kaces keyboard gig bag and the leg case is about 15#. With
my Jensen Neo equipped Nashville 112 and my SteelSeat Lite, I'm only moving 125# into a gig in two easy trips! And my back thanks me..JS

Hey John - I'm curious about the keyboard gig bag. When you set up the guitar, is the weight resting on the tuners and changer or can you modify the gig bag to support the guitar as it's typically done in a hard case?
The Jensen neo is a thing of beauty for steel. Howard

| Thanks all,I'm very happy with it! Howard, the gig bag is minimally padded so I added a platform of eighth-inch hardboard with padding that the changer,strings and tuning keys rest on, which is how it sat in its Cush case.JS |

| Looks like a great setup for local gigs. How about the pedal bar case? |

Michael, the pedal bar and legs are in a Bulldog Tactical
Shotgun case BD492 35" that was under $20.
Bill, I'll keep my brown Carter D10 8+8 forever!
Brett, thanks! JS |
