Here's an upgrade for those who like the teardrop style knee levers. They are 6061 aluminum.

Also, we have the matching upgrade brackets, for those who want to replace worn out parts or simply get away from the potmetal parts.

If they're for Super Pro era guitars, shouldn't the brackets have hex holes? Or are you assuming cross shaft replacement as well?

James Morehead · Post by **James Morehead** » 14 Jul 2010 6:18 am

Brint, Good question. The pics show the knee kit that screws to the shelf on the singleneck guitars--The small retaining shaft has to be round or it won't move. For thos who need to mount directly to a hex shaft, we have that covered, too.

Mine are a tad lighter. I'll see if I can hunt up some small scales. But one of each in each hand, mine feel lighter.
