Hi, I would like to add two tuning rods (pulls) to my Emmons Legrande at the 4th pedal. When requesting them through the company, will I need to give lengths or will they automatically know if I say fourth pedal?

extra info
93' w/8&5, 14 hole bell cranks, reason... Franklin pedal.

Thanks in advance,

Wayne Baker

Wayne...Ron will know what to send you just by telling him it's for the 4th pedal. By the way, what e-mail address can I reach you at?
Thanks,
Roger

Roger is correct.

This is true IF you have a true Emmons Legrande II. However there are a few of them out there that are called II's that came with 4 hole bellcranks. I bought one. IF you have one of these, best to tell Ron that; since the length is not nearly as critical as a guitar that has the 14 hole bellcranks; since you can cut them to length if you have the 4 hole bellcranks. With 14 hole bellcranks, they must be an exact length; and the unthreaded end must be grooved, then bent into an "L" shape.

Roger, Waynenbaker@hotmail.com or if that don't work, wbaker1@aol.com. I hope all is well Roger. Hows the GSGA?

Carl, I do have the 14 hole Bell cranks. My plan is to add the Franklin pedal to the "A" pedal position and scoot everything over one pedal. What do you guys think??

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Wayne,

A number of players are doing just that. The reasoning is; The PF pedal is often used just before or just after the A pedal. So it tends to make sense.

Good luck and May Jesus bless all of you always,
