Can you post or send the current copedant? Also, is this ready to play/properly set-up? How's the tuning stability? Any details would be helpful. I'm really curious about these pull/release Marlens....
Thanks,
Gabriel |

The changer is as simple as it gets, and easy to keep lubricated. You can see everything! One hint from pull-release experts is to make sure the changer-finger touches the body of the guitar when the raise is fully-activated...and the raise is tuned at the tuning-key with the pedal or lever activated. (Having the finger touching the body with the raise engaged is reckoned to be an integral part of the pull-release tone.) Lowers are tuned at the changer-end using a stop-screw which the changer-finger stops against. If the string just raises or lowers (but does not do both) it is very, very easy and very logical. the tone is rich, full and pretty much mid-way between an Emmons push-pull and a vintage Sho Bud. The feel is more like a push-pull due to the extra travel required in the mechanism to allow a string to both raise and lower. Len Stadler had a reputation for beautiful cabinets on his steels. At the time this steel was built, he and Emmons Guitars were using some parts made for them by the same companies (Quality Castings was one of them). The pull-release system is inherently simple and they stay tuned almost forever once properly set up.
