Re: Will a thicker pedal bar cure "walking"?

Hi Slim,
I notice that you mention the guitar is a one off, is it possible that the front legs with the pedal board are to far forward, the farther out they are it is more likely to move when you press the pedals, it might cure the the problem if they were more up straight. I hope this helps. Ray
