Pedal Sizes on Lloyd Greens Country Music HOF of Fame Guitar

Bill Rowlett · From: Russellville, AR, USA

I didn't want to hijack Kevin's thread about his cases, but I noticed that Lloyd's Sho-Bud HOF guitar in Ricky's post seemed to have narrow pedals on the A, B and C pedals and the wider pedals on the C6th neck.

Is that the way he had it set up?

Personally, I have a Pro II and could never get used to the wide pedals...

Yes Bill; back in the mid-60's Fingertip days; they were always loaded up with 9 pedals as the 9th pedal always lowered High C on C6th side. So the first 3 pedals underneath; bracket that the round cross-shafts were mounted in; were closer together than the even spacing of the others; so those first 3 pedals were cut to give more space between some or all 3 and either same amount or just one side; up to the player. Yes this Is exactly the way Lloyd played it back in the day and same copedent and everything; here's a couple shots showing the underneath the way I set it up; as it was from the 60's.

Sorry for the flashes on the pics...I'm not very good with camera....ha....LOL>

(BTW; this is the pedal steel Lloyd came up with the E to F raise he wanted for Tammy's D.I.V.O.R.C.E...and there was already 3 knees and so they put the new E to F on LKR and Lloyd played that set up on all future steels to Current.)
