On the levers where I pull to the inside(LKR and RKL)I wish I could reduce the amount of travel it takes to get those to pitch.
How would you go about doing that on a Dekley S10 Slimline?
Different hole on the bellcrank maybe?
Heavier strings?

Ronnie,You should be able to do that by changing the rods to holes on the bell crank further away from the body of the guitar.

Stu is right on the money. I just did that last week on my sho-bud. After you move the rod to the farthest hole, just retune your strings. You might have to back the tuning nut off till the rod has no adjustment on it. Should be a very simple task.

Thanks guys...I thought that might do it but figured I'd ask the question before trying it.
