That guitar is one of the best sounding and playing guitars I ever played. If I wasn't in my 80's I would have kept it. It is heavy, but awesome to play. Tone is very unique and sustain is great. Good luck with your sale, whoever gets it will be very happy with it. L.M.

Doesn't look like a push/pull to me. I admit I'm no P/P expert but the "cross shafts" and bell cranks look like what they have always had, but what is going on under the tuning end, with those nylon collars, I have no idea. Any other people have an opinion? Did BMI ever make push/pulls? Can we see a shot looking dead into the changer window?
Looks like a really nice guitar and in no way does this affect the value of this guitar. It just has me stumped. Thanks. Ron

Guys this BMI is a push Pull she has a changer on each end one end you pull your raises an the opposite end you push your lowers. Just about a bullet proof design they stay in tune very well an the knees an pedal action is as good as it gets. Ron the End with the nylon tuners under the steelis the push to lower end.
