Hey all!

I just bought a 76 LDG that’s had the undercarriage converted to Super Pro parts. Plays great, but one hex shaft bushing is worn out and doesn’t hold it in place terribly well. PSG parts is out, wondered if anyone had one laying around. Also, I prefer the feel of my Pro III’s teardrop levers. If anyone has any, I’d like to buy four, just to keep the feel similar.

Thanks!

Unfortunately the original Curved Shobud knee levers will not fit on the hex crossshaft knee mounts; only the straight knee levers fit on them. My machinist friend John Coop actually made some curved knees that would fit on that thicker hex mount; but he passed away many moons ago.

Hey Ricky!

I figured that was the case, luckily I have a friend who has access to a gigantic body shop. They make parts for Ford GTs in house… not kidding. I sent him a pic and he thinks he can retro fit it easily enough, I just have to find the levers.

Also on a side note, I got this guitar online and the gentleman said you gave him some info. Do you remember a blue LDG with a super pro undercarriage?

Yes Keith, I think I remember that LDG; I don't remember what advice/info I gave the guy though; but always glad to help when I can.
