I like the changer fingers very much with the hole for the string to go thru but the screw in legs are awesome with the shoulder. Should make the guitar very stable. A great design all the way around Ross. A Guitar for a life time. J.R. Rose

Hi b0b,
I always wondered what the difference in tone is from a keyhead guitar to a keyless guitar. I have heard so much talk about the keyhead being important. I would love to hear your take on that...

The tone is more consistent from one string to the next on a keyless guitar. Whether that is good or bad depends on your taste and expectations. To me, it's just a difference. I like both.

What a work of art and craftsmanship from my friend and forum brother!!! I love my Klines, but I've always dreamed of an Anapeg,,,,Ross has brought it home to America!!! Truly this would be my DREAM guitar.
Ross you knocked it out of the park on this one,,,(and I'll bet you still have some other innovative ideas in mind,,,always thinking,,,LOL)
And b0b,,,,that copedent deserves some VERY serious consideration!!! |

It is working very well for me. D6th is midway between E9th and C6th. P1 and P2 are the E9th A+B changes. LKL is the "F lever". LKR and RKR provide the standard notes of the E9th 2nd string. P5 (like C6th P7) has the bounce of the E9th C pedal on the 3rd string, while LKV provides a more "squeezable" C pedal change.
Everything from C6th is there except for the 8th string raise of the standard C6th P4. I opted to raise the 9th string instead on LKR, for those tick-tack rhythm section parts I love to play.
<center>
</center>
I use LKV when I'm playing E9th-like stuff, and LKV2 when I'm deep into C6th mode. The one that I'm not using is pulled out of the way. Changes in parens are rodded but backed out in case I decide I need them.

| Thanks b0b for quick explanation,,,saves me a lot of "comparisons",,,looks even better now. Seems like I would have a tough time hold an "up" knee lever consistently while in E9 mode,,,maybe I'm missing something? |

Rather than occupying two different "modes" within one tuning, like the E9/B6 or others, b0b's universal tuning splits the difference and integrates everything together, so instead of either playing in the E9 or B6 mode, you're always in D6, whether you're playing "C6 style" or "E9 style". Seems like it makes it a lot easier to transition between playing styles than having to deal with holding a lever down and switching the base key of the instrument. The vertical lever doesn't pull it into "E9" tuning, it's half of the C pedal while staying over a D6 tuning base, which is completed by the traditional A pedal.
Beautiful guitar b0b!

I don't hold it up for long. I mostly use it with A+B pedals down to get the "C pedal" change.

Caught up to this thread just now, bOb. Very efficient changes on the coped. And, you will never have to buy split cases for this design. The carbon parts will probably float into the gig right behind you in the 'prop wash' of your now narrower profile.
Have a jolly good time on "cloud 9" .. or 10! ..11 Γ°ΕΈΕ©ðŸΕΕΎ |

Only if you call C6th a C6/9. The tuning is Buddy Emmons' C6th, but raised a step to D. I just added the E9th pedals to it so that I wouldn't have to haul around a D-10.

Yes b0b, that is absolutely true!
I'm looking seriously at this set up and trying to what would need to be changed in order to have the correct combinations for those of us who play the Day set up. I like it over my Jeff Newman uni set up because I'm more into 6th tuning, swing etc. |

The re-entrant E would make me want to call it D9,
so to me, it's D9/G9, which I really dig.

| Bob, how does the tuning end work. Are the holes in the end of the tuner where you tune the string? Do you need to pull the string some what up to pitch by hand? |

Yes, it's similar to the keyless Sierra Session in that respect.

Outdoor gig setup with chocolate Milkman amp and Telonics Multi-taper pedal. I guess you could say it's a dream rig.

I really hope that when all is said and done among us hoo-man beans, when the little pod-thingies come crawling out of the wreckage in One Million A.D., the first thing they find is your pedal steel guitar. It's almost like... weaponized, you know? 
Pod-thingie One: "Snork?"
