Does anyone know what Buck's E9th and C6th set-up's are on his most recent guitar? Thanks

You'll find it on his website, same as his JCH, and Infinity.

I am no expert but I think he has 2 RKL and 2 LKR. The I is Inside referring to the one closest to the back apron. Someone please correct me if I am wrong, which is highly possible!

Jason is correct. Buck doesn't like vertical KLs, so he's settled on inner and outer levers, a modified Crawford Cluster.

He might be calling them differently, but I call the 'I' lever the inside lever, meaning it's closest to the knee. That means they would have to be further to the front of the guitar, so you can shift your knee back and out to hit the outer levers.

Buck uses no verticals he uses staggered knee levers... IKL would be inside knee left and so on...

I haven't seen it, but last I recall he had moved over to infinity. Mickey sold Buck's Red JCH 8x8 last year or so I think.

Hey fella's! Just saw this and thought I would jump in. The ILKL and ILKR are further away from me... since I have to reach in a little... well... further. Smile I also chose changes that require shorter travel as to not interfere with the standard E raises and lowers. It's the most comfortable way I could come up with in order to navigate 4 levers in such close proximity.

Buck, did you use Infinity? Just curious, at the time when Mickey had your JCH, I somehow got the notion you were going to Infinity. Thanks for responding.

Not sure if he has since switched... But Buck was definitely playing a brand new Infinity back in 2014 when he decided to sell his JCH.

Bill... yes I did play an Infinity for a couple years and can't say enough good things about the guitar or Frank Carter!
I'm currently playing a Mullen G-2 and very happy with it.
