SD-10 on a D-10 frame. 3x5. Emmons, E's on the right. Billy Knowles restoration in 2018. 14 Holes. Reliable and solid. Looks, plays and sounds just like an Emmons. Cush Case. No VP. I have two D-10 PPs. I just don't play it much anymore. More pics upon request. $3,200 + shipping and insurance.

| It’s not unusual. I started on Sho-Buds. That’s where they put them. It’s just what you’re used to. No advantage/disadvantage in my opinion. And, I’m too old to change. |

| Should I clarify? I lower my E’s with RKL and raise them with LKL |

| Just recently bought a Rains with this setup...I have to say, after sitting down with it for the first few minutes, I think I prefer it now... |

Yes that's what I use but it did infer that the R/R was an E raise. Thanks for clearing that up. That might have turned someone off. Thanks, RP- Sweet Guitar!

| Ron, you are exactly right. After I thought about your post for a while, I thought I should probably clarify. I appreciate your insight, sir. |

Paul Franklins are on the right too.
I started playing Sho-Bud and that’s the way they were. |

I also lower my E’s with the RKL because that’s the way I learned and I’m too stubborn to change. However… I have to admit the Emmons set-up lowering the E’s with the LKR makes more sense. I was noodling around once and wanted to lower my 4th and 2nd string at the same time, then realized it was impossible with my set-up.
You’re never going to raise and lower a E string at the same time, so it makes sense to have them both on the same knee. |

I lower 2 and 9 on LKR, so, lowering the E’s on RKL, works the same way as lowering the E’s on LKR, and lowering 2 and 9 on the RKR. Otherwise, your right, it doesn’t work as well if your lowering E’s and lowering 2 and 9, on the same side. A lot of stuff is played, with the combination of lowering the E’s and lowering 2 and 9. If a person’s insistent on lowering 2 and 9 on the RKR, it would definitely be more beneficial, to lower the E’s on LKR. |
