Well done!

Ok. The sound (and only the sound -- there are a lot of other things that can be discussed about the choice of wound or plain 6th strings).

Did Pete do all the custom work on the guitar? It would fit with what little I know about him.

Concept is exactly the same. Three types of string situations:

-- Raise Only
-- Lower Only
-- Raise And Lower

In the same area that Jerry is talking about the spacers, I'd have a look at whether the threaded portion of a rod is passing through the hole in the finger. Could be a replacement rod cut wrong, cou ...

This is pretty boss.

I've seen and dug his stuff for a while but had no idea of the context, which is both relevant and irrelevant (all in a good way).

I also built the one in the craig Anderton Electronic Projects for Musicians book and it sounded great, but it was a speaker killer.

I mistakenly wrote higher in response to Jon's post, when I should've written lower. I measure the L120 just under 2 inches when closed, near 3/8 in. higher than the Moyo.

Agok is a Pedal Steel Guitar by a Japanese builder named KOGA.

If a string is raise only, does it matter if the lower finger moves?

Absolutely yes, it matters. You want zero lower finger movement with a raise because if it moves, there is no element control ...
