I notice that some players have them and some don't. Do you use knee lever flags? If so, what levers do you have them on? |

Knee lever flags are metal extensions that bolt/screw onto knee levers effectively making knee levers that are located further away from the player closer to the player. They are generally used when the pull rod or cross shaft placement makes it difficult to locate the knee levers closer to the rear apron of the guitar. |

They are those rectangle metal pieces attached to the knee levers that your knee pushes on to move the lever.
I have three on each of my two guitars they are all on the knees that push right. Both of my guitars have 8 knees. Hope this makes sense. |

Sounds like something I could use. Where can you get them? |

I don't like them. They get caught in the folds of my jeans. |

Joe, the Emmons I just sold had one on the RKR. It was a pretty forward lever and the flag as you call it made it possible to adjust the lever throw so it matched my little right knee.
hope you are feeling better.
