On ext E9 I like a knee lever that raises 12 a whole step, low E to F#. I have it on the same lever that lowers 2 and 9 to C#. (Actually I have a 4th change on that lever ... )

I goes well with the A, B pedals for F#m7, F#m11 etc. And with the D# lever, it makes a nice change F#m7 to B7 or B9. Unfortunately that will not work with Rick's setup since he has the E to D# lower on the right knee, opposite the lever where I would put the whole step raise on string 12.

I've always wanted the whole step 12th string raise.... just don't know where to put it.... yet....? Oh Well

That's my copedent alright, except I also raise string 2 a half stop on LKR.... and I do the default/defeat thing on 12th string half step raise when used in conjunction with the zero pedal (ped.1)

Hi Jim... actually the only reason I had 11 strings on the C6 neck of my Dekley D12 was that I broke a tuner on the first string at a gig. Only after trying various ideas for that string.(a high A, and F, and a B.) After it broke, I never replaced it because it finally hit me how, once again, Buddy Emmons was truly brilliant to put the re-entrant D note on the string one position!
When Frank Carter was making the Infinity for me, he was against the idea of an D12/11 for aesthetic and many other reasons...so I had to figure out a new note I could live with. I picked an open B (per Reese's non pedal) in position 2. So now my top 4 strings on C6 are D,B,G, and E. The B in that spot is a real wild card that I'm finding a ton of uses for!
I was told when I got my Dekley, that it was originally owned by Bob White, but never got any proof of provenance. It has different fret boards than stock, with "quasars" as markers. I still love that guitar, but my back is loving me more now. Smile


Thanks for the picture and for letting me know that I still have a little bit of my memory left! Winking

However, for the Bob White provenance, I don't remember building one for him. Dekley continued on for a few years after I left, so it could have been built then.
