Hi guys...and gals!
Haven't been on here at all for several years! Anyway I was just wondering if anybody
had any ideas on the mechanics of making a double lower on a pull-release changer.

all-pull changer dimensions
Hi....
Does anybody have a JPG or similar of the dimensions of the parts of a regular all-pull changer finger assembly?
I have it somewhere but can't seem to find it
Thanks,
Mac

Re: tool for securing brads
What are we talking about here? Are these the pins that hold the string ends?

Re: Split screws
Likewise, where you both lower and raise a string, Example, the 5th. You raise the string on A ped, a whole tone, and lower it a half tone say with the vertical lever. Theoretically if you hit both the Aped and VKL, the resultant note should be a C. On some guitars it works out fine, on others it d...

Split screws
Would someone like to explain how the various schemes for compensating the resulting note when a raise and a lower on the same string are activated. I know about the extra pull rod idea etc. but what about the "split screw" idea. My concept of this is if you have an adjustment screw you can screw in...

Well.....I don't know about any interaction the aluminum casing would have. The guitar seems to sound good to my ears anyway. Every guitar I've built (19) sound different. I guess it's always a combination of all the parts.....body, changer, nut, strings, pickup etc. that makes one guitar sound diff...

Hum reducing pickup
Awhile ago I mentioned in another post that I was making a single coil shielded pickup in a slightly different way. I mentioned that I have a lot of rectangular aluminum tubing that I use whenever I can for parts construction. The couple of pictures attached show my best effort to date with a REALLY...
