| Well,,I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive about a wrist lever,,,but I must say, it turns out to be very natural feeling,,to me it is a much more comfortable or natural way to activate the 5th string lower. I just never could get comfortable raising my leg to activate an "up" lever,,,a lot guys have said the same. I'm pretty sure this guitar will wind up with at least one more wrist lever,,,maybe two,,,LOL. Also has me thinking about wrist levers for lap steel. |

Like sonny, I was apprehensive about adding and using a wrist lever. But then I had a chance to play a guitar that had one, and as soon as I did, I saw that it's a good thing.
I use mine all the time.
It does not interfere with my picking. The only drawbacks are that 1- I can't chime while using it, and2, it gets in the way when I play up past the 24th fret, and I have to fold it out of the way.

| Hey Mike,,thanks for the input. I like this so well,,I'm definitely thinking about another one,,,maybe two more,,LOL. I can also see 3 wrist levers on a lap steel,,,maybe 10-12 string would give a lot of possibilities in a small package,,,problem is health issues are limiting my ability to initiate these ideas,,,bummer!!!! |

Wrist lever polished and hooked up 5th string lower. Also "storage" receptacle for combination tuning tool to tune both ends. Hole for allen wrench has 2 ring magnets to hold tool in place when guitar is turned upside down.
