This is good information for me also. I just purchased a BMI S-10 from the forum and had a few questions. This is a very good design guitar but not as smooth as a MSA or Carter.The pedal action on mine seems to be stiff. I sent Don an E-mail for information on that and other questions.

I am hoping I like this guitar because EVERY part in a machined part and it has minimal cabinet drop.

If anyone has any further information on BMI, please post it here or send me an E-mail.

White lithium grease. Should be available at any auto parts store or any parts store that sells ball bearings, ie Motion Industries. Check the yellow pages under ball bearings.
