Ouch! My 2002 Carter broke a dog bone (that’s happened once before) and now also a pull rod. E910th string low B, so it’s the longest rod on the guitar,
I had the foresight to had already ordered the needed parts years ago, so it’s all good and working great again—whew! Glad it didn’t happen on the bandstand: I carry extra dog bones but not pull rods…
Now I need to find some more Carter parts to have on hand. Anybody have some to sell me, please? |

Great tip, thanks!
I may even be able to re-use the broken pull rod on a different pedal. |

Yes. That's one of the beauties of straight rods and locking barrels. You can cut them down to any size without having to measure for the hook.
Just to be thorough (yes, you did say use it on a different pedal) -- if you were tempted, no, you really can't use it on the A pedal. I once tried to use what was left in the same position with a locking barrel but there just isn't enough material left without backing the nylon tuner way off, leaving it hanging on to too few threads. |
