Shorter Legs on a Carter

Raphael McGregor · Posted 11 Sep 2024 6:29 pm

Hey all, I've got a PSG student who has standard 25 3/4 legs (on the guitar, not on her) but whose legs aren't long enough (on her, not on the guitar) to reach her knee levers without being on tiptoes.

She has a Carter and I see they sell some kits with shorter legs and changer rods but the info and site seem pretty out of date.

I looked through some posts here but they all seem pretty old. Any new info on anyone selling leg shortening kits (for guitars, not for people)?

Thanks!

PS my stopgap solution was I told her to put her heels down and tape a couple of paint stirrers to the vertical knees to lengthen them...we'll see how that goes, I guess.

I had to shorten my Carter. I just shortened the legs and pedal rods by the same amount and then cut new threads on the pedal rods.

Is her guitar a Single 10 or a D10? We have a Carter D10 with 1 in. under legs and rods that we might consider a swap. Lemme know and we can discuss details and info via PM.
