Just Got my Pro 1 this week and love it. However, Possibly during shipping something came loose and, being a beginner Im not sure of the terminology to describe it or how to fix it. I'll post pics and if anyone can offer some advice it would be very much appreciated. I contacted the seller but Haven't heard back yet (EDIT: I thought I sent him an email but looking back, it didn't send for some reason). Thanks!

Looks like the pull rod came out of the bell-crank. I am not quite as familiar with these guitars as I am the earlier ones. James M., Ricky D., or countless other member will be along shortly I'm sure. If not, shoot me your phone number and we can talk through it on the phone.
Best,
Justin

Eric, it appears that the spring clip came off somehow. Look in the crevases of your case for a small black clip that looks like a carburator linkage clip or a spring type clip similar to this

Although, the spring type clip is highly unlikely to dissappear as once it's on the rod and the rod is bent, they're vitually impossible to remove.

The rod is fasten by a little ring what I call a "dang ring". As in when you try to take them off they will fly off and you'll be saying "where did that dang ring go"?
To take the ring off or put it on you have to use what I call "stupid pliers". As in "Why don't these stupid pliers work"?
Or worse yet those clips mentioned above that break if you look at them while you're trying to take them off or put them on. As a quick fix I've started wrapping rubber bands around them. |

You need to look at the changer end where the other end of the rod is dangling and figure out which string is not pulling. From there we can help you decide just which hole to put it in.
Like Michael said, those clips are hard to loose. If you have my luck though.......
Good luck,
Justin
