E9 String 6 Feel Stop

Dave Grafe · From: Hudson River Valley NY

Curious if anyone else has timed the pulls around the E9 6 string G#>F# lower when it is on RKL in the Emmons copedant to get a feel stop mid-travel. This lever combines the 6th string full-step lower with raises on strings 1+2 and a C>B lower on string 3 of the C6 neck.

By slowing down the 6 string change and speeding up the other three changes a solid feel-stop can be set when the 6 string is at G, allowing a minor third with no fret change.

The same could be done when this change is located on LKR but would not have the additional C6 pull to help establish the feel stop.

I like this one and put it on all of my E9 necks, sometimes setting up string 1 F#>G# to reach the G simultaneously. I don't use it a lot but it is very handy to get the minor thirds without moving the bar.
