My knee lever (on the ZB E9 neck) that has the half stop and flats the D# to a D and then to a C# will not go all the way down to the C#, and appears to be losing the half stop as well. Is this a spring that's lost its tension, or is there another adjustment on the guitar that I'm not seeing? Any help appreciated.

| Danny, mine has a coller with an allen screw in it that occasionally comes lose and has to be re-tightened. You have to look real close under the springs. Its hard to see. |

Danny, inside the changer there are some stop nuts but they're hidden just inside the endplate. These are your permanent range adjustments that tell the fingers where to stop. I also had a situation where the finger ran out of range. I had to barely adjust these nuts to move the stop point thus providing more range. For that string since it's lower-only you could probably adjust the finger in the raise direction just a hair, like two turns of the nuts. Then you will have a broader lowering range. It's tricky in there because you have to remove a return spring to get at the tiny lock nuts.
