Is the LKL placed farther to the right on a new guitar ordered with Day setup? Seems like it should but I wonder if most manufacturers do it?

I'm asking because if I convert an Emmons setup to Day, the LKL could be too far to the left like my Franklin is. Luckily, the Franklin knee lever angle is adjustable and mine is tilted quite a bit so I can reach it.

thx

Bob,

As far as I know, nothing changes but the A and C changes reversed along with the standard LKL and LKR changes reversed. It makes sense to me.

The way the ankle rolls suggests the knee levers move in and aiding fashion to the A and B pedals. IE, the A pedal and F knee lever is sooooooooo used, that most players feel its best if F follows A. But the relationship of their relative location be the same.

NOTE: there are a very few who have them opposite. IE, LKL raises the E's with the Day setup; OR LKL lower's the E's with the Emmons' setup. Not many though. Most are standard; LKL raises the E's when the A pedal raises the B's.
