Guitar is a custom cabinet (made for Shot Jackson by his son David). Bobbe Seymore installed the push-pull hardware. This guitar has a killer tone. I have used this guitar on gigs, and it works very well. $2500 + shipping [This message was edited by Mark Fasbender on 04 June 2006 at 11:27 PM.] |

Hi Dan.............It is an emmons P/P changer. I am not familiar enough to know which P/P changer.It is set down in the gumby tailplate. Nice job too. When I got the guitar it was out of whack setupwise but it is great now. Plays good and sounds good. Bobbe Seymour knows alot about this guitar as he built it. Perhaps he will chime in. Thanks. ------------------ Mark |

I thought it was determined in another thread that this sort of combination was tah~boo! Apparently this is a good move, after all is said and done! (???)! It sure is a fine~looking guitar! ------------------ “Big John” a.k.a. {Keoni Nui} Current Equipment [This message was edited by John Bechtel on 08 June 2006 at 10:15 PM.] |

Hi Bill............ I disassembled the changer and had the shaft polished. Then I deburred the fingers, lubed and reassembled it. It is smooth as silk. I then worked over the undercarriage. I made some new changer pull rods and installed collars und also good springs on the pulls that normally require them. I also used springs to time the pulls. Some rods were angled and or bent but this was unnecessary on this guitar so I replaced them with straight rods. I reworked the crossshaft pivots so they have no resistance and fitted new,better springs. I reworked the pedal assembly so it is as smooth as can be. There were som issues with the pedal stops that I fixed by reworking the stop plate that is under the crossshafts. There were alot of areas underneath where things were rubbing, I realigned everything so this does not occur. The changer pull rods were attached to the bellcranks with set screws when I recieved the guitar. This made it play rather stiff. I went to freefloating with collars and tension springs. The mechanical dimensions and advantages are the same as a PP Emmons and the guitar plays like a PP now. Smooth and in tune(and stays put) and returns in tune. The changer is a nice installation job (thanks Bobbe) and is perfectly solid and stable. The guitar sounds stunning. It is a big sound. I have 6 guitars and many 6 strings and have been thinning the herd. The guitar took my copedant which is rather standard very easily. If no-one purchases it I will have no problem keeping it and using it, There are a couple more small things I am going to do to it whether I sell it or not. Anything I ever sell is in great shape as a matter of course or I wont sell it. The buyer of this guitar can take it to a gig and check the tuning and roll. All the problems with this guitar were minor and just needed to be sorted out. It is also very pretty.Yee Haw ------------------ Mark [This message was edited by Mark Fasbender on 09 June 2006 at 08:18 AM.] |
