| Is it possible to add knee levers to a Sho-Bud crossover or not. It's not my guitar but I am working on it for a fellow. I would like to know in case the question comes up. It has the rack and barrel system underneath. I also know some will say it's not worth doing but this is what he has and that being said we must go from this point. |

I've seen some with multiple levers, but they were neck specific. Didn't work on both necks.

| Herb I think this will only require a couple levers on the top neck. The changes are on the pedals now. I just am trying to move them to knees. E-F and 2nd string lower. |

| I made and added three knee levers to the one I used to have, and hooked them into pedals 4-6. I then set them up so I had 3&4 on E9 and 4&3 on C6. |

Sorry, that was over 40 years ago. I basically just mounted the knee levers where they needed to go, and then rigged up some linkages to hook into the pedal linkages the same way the original knee lever does. They all moved together, so a knee lever attached to P5 also activated P5, etc. but that didn't cause a problem. The switchover worked just the same as if it was the pedal that was switching.
As I recall, the LKR was mounted on a long shaft higher up, with a lever below it, so it was a natural reverser. |
