I'd like to do a little experimenting with the copedent on my back neck. I've never messed with the undercarriage, and have only the vaguest notion of what to do. Can anyone point me toward some instructions or clues anywhere on line? Maybe a book?

Thanks - John

John, I think if you let the guys/gals know what you currently have for a setup and what you want to change they could help you out.

And check out the Carter Guitar website - a lot of clear info on how this all works, e.g.,

Pete - thanks, but I'm way down here in the Applegate Valley, near Grants Pass. I appreciate the offer, though.

Steve - Thanks for the link. That's a start.

What I'd like to do is install a completely different tuning that I've been wanting to try for a while. What's missing is a clear idea of how to deal with the changer fingers. I think I'm going to have to spend some time with the instrument upside-down, rubbing my chin and scratching my head.

John, it'd be helpful to supply the brand and model of your guitar as they're all a bit different....JH in Va.

Matthieu and Jerry - Thanks for the suggestion.

It's a Mullen D-10. "Royal Precision" is decaled on the front, but according to Mike Mantey, it's a pre-G2.
