Hi Steve, if you mean the overall dim's of a finger, it's 130mm x 20mm x 6.5mm. The finger block is 108 x 40 x 20 with 6.5 wide slots with a spacing off 2mm walls between each slot.

Hello maxi19 sorry to get off the subject of pedal changers, but I have veneered my steel guitar, my issue is when I get ready to put finish on the guitar I have a line to try to make smooth looking and that is where the top veneer meets with the front veneer, how do I keep this edge line from showing thru stain?

Hello Steve,

I don't use veneer but if I did I would use an aluminium angle section for the edging, it can be obtained in 9.5 mm x 9.5 mm x 1.6 mm which is 3/8" x 3/8" x 1/16" which looks neat when polished.

Best Regards

Hey Maxi19 what is the shaft holes distance and what is the length of your front and back rails? Steve B.

30mm between centres, and you would have to make the rails to your own specs depending on your planned cabinet size.

Steel assembled, just the laborious 'setting up' to do, a job I find involves going round and round in ever decreasing circles.

Best Regards to all.
