Is it this one?
Also, wondering if this “one off†with the Emmons head sounds different than a new Ritt Prestige model that I’m interested in. |

| This guitar is 1/2 longer than other prestige guitars to allow for the Emmons keyhead ,it has the coil taps on back pad, The back apron is one piece were all others are 3 pieces. Also changer stop are built into the endplates. |

Im thinking MIke Bourque bought this Rittenberry new. Knowing Mike he probably came
Up with these ideas an Gary agreed too this custom build.
Awesome steel with a casted Emmons key head, an 1/2 inch longer body an
Stops in the changer adds tone. Maybe I should keep this great Rittenberry for a while. |

Paul this Rittenberry is a modern all pull steel with a three over three changer an easy too remove bell cranks an is capable of about any copedent a person can dream up.
I'm sure some of the forum members could tell us what they would suggest what pulls would work on the E pedal.
Here in Nashville we have steel mechanics such as Wayne Dahl an Buck Ried that are considered some of the best (steel guitar) set up people you could ask for.
I'll ask in the steel guitar forum pedal steel section for suggestions on the ( fifth E pedal ). |

| If the 5th pedal is set up back to what it was, that switches it to C6th. Excluding 1st string (G or D) ECAGECA is strings 2 through 8 on a standard C6th. |

| Thx Johnie. I guess what I'm asking is do the rods I need to setup those 4 strings come with it and how is it currently set up? |

Ben I see know what your saying I'll check with Gary Rittenberry. Looks like I would need four more bell cranks an rods an 4 nylon tuners. .
But I doubt 6 pulls an one pedal would be comfortable too use. |
