Re: Changer finger adjustment advise please

Shobud changer finger question? On the lowering finger that grooves into the string finger, could a guy file down the groove flat again bend the top of the finger straight and install a roller bearing with rivets and cure this hang up problem, instead of replacing the whole changer out? PLEASE HELP....

Re: My pedal steel No 2

I think there is a bunch of us waiting to here about how well those space age changers are going to work. Love to have a set in my guitar. Keep it coming, Ron.

Re: My pedal steel No 2

Also noticed your end plate returns are much smaller than your last guitar, looks much better. I have been copying a lot of your under carriage designs on mine, Thanks for the pics. Rick

Re: pull/release problem

Hey Mac, Is there any way to bend the rod, and back around to reach the other end. I have seen pull rods done that way. Rick

Re: Inlays

I would give my eye teeth to own a Sheffield steel, beautiful. If I had a talent like that here in the US I believe I would be a rich man. Why is Dave Hartley not playing one of those, instead of a US made steel? Help me to understand that. Absolutely beautiful Mr. Sheffied.
