Steel Guitar Builder

I'm sure they do. But, apart from the PSGs I already have and will play and maintain, I won't have, or build, one with changer as part of the bridge. So apart from studying how these various variants work I won't go further into them.

Got it. It's a variant I haven't paid any attention to. Good thing I never will have to build and/or install such changers.

Wayne, it still sounds strange to me that you're looking for where to put a stop-plate for raise fingers ... what type of changer is it? Some form of broken finger?

Georg - You inadvertantly brought up a subject which should be resolved by the powers that be. I refer to the two systems of measurement that are currently being used and which conflict with each other. My background allows me to easily switch between and convert between the two. Most do not have t...
