I have a Shobud ProII and have added a knee to lower Strings 3 and 6 1/2 step to G but now want to go all the way to F# on string 6 but can't figure out how to tune the combination with B pedal to get the G There is a set screw on the changer of my Zum for this but there has to be another way without tearing the guitar apart to make that mod
Any ideas? |

There are many threads on the subject. This here shows both methods--your Zum method and the extra rod method (Patrick Laffrat's second graphic). As long as you have an available hole on the changer and the rod & bellcrank, this is what you need.

| I did it with the extra rod on a LDG and it worked out very good. |

I was going to put the 3rd string lower, along with the 6th string lower on my Franklin. I was advised not to do it by Mr Franklin (Sr) when he built the guitar. That was 1981, when I ordered the guitar, and I've never missed having it.
I do have the 6th string lower, G# to F# and the split with the B pedal to G. I use both of these changes quite a bit. Probably next to the lever that lowers the E's, the lever that lowers the 6th string is the 2nd most used. |

Same here Jack I like the 6th string lower with the split, He did put the third string lower on mine but I just lower it a half tone and do use that often
The split on the 6th makes it real handy for me, different strokes for different folks I guess. |
