Hi all,
I own a 70's LDG which I've been told has some 'pot metal' parts which could wear in the future. If I can find some, id like to buy some replacement parts so I have them should I ever need them. Especially the 'fingers' which I can't find anywhere
I've tried Michael Yahl at PSG Parts and Jim at steel guitars but they don't have them. Anyone else I should try?
Many thanks |

Jeff Surratt at Show Pro guitars has the knee lever and pedal bar parts to replace those rubbish bits !! _________________ 14'Zumsteel Hybrid D10 9+9

Thanks for this both, It was the bits that the string goes over I was trying to get. Think the're called fingers? The round bits that the string goes over? They look in pretty good shape at the minute but worried the'll develop grooves in the future and I won't be able to replace them.
Many thanks |

Darren the main prob with those later model fingers you have; are the lower arm pushes the top piece creates a groove there and makes for inconsistent leverage. See pics below. No worries on getting a groove on top where the string goes over.
If you ever have a finger start hanging up on ya...email me; and I'll tell you how to fix it...but it's a rare problem; unless the steel has been played a million hours for 40 years.
