Damir, you better hang onto that one. Alot of guys would love to own a push-pull like you have there.Especially if it's been reworked,and newly set-up. I wish you the best. Kenny Krupnick |

Congratulations, Damir. I guess you've discovered just how special push-pulls are (and how good Bobbe is). Isn't it amazing that a design first introduced in 1963 still holds its own? Good luck with it. |

Hey Damir, That guitar looks like new for a 30 year old guitar !! If you don't mind me asking. What is up with the 1st string E9 raise and lower fingers resting against the endplate. I couldn't help but notice from the pics. Is it some sort of setup trick. |

Thank you,thank you guys,it is a great guitar but since I`m new to the p/p I don`t even know 100% how to tune that thing.Any technical question please ask Jeff, I only know that thing plays like a monster. |

Nice job, Jeff. Couple of questions. How much do you guys normally charge for a case like that? Mines just about bit the dust. Also, what's the function of the crossrod just to the left of the 8th. pedal crossrod on the last underside pic? It seems to have about 8 bellcranks on it. I'm thinking maybe guide bellcranks? |

Very nice guitar!
The RKR raises string 4 on the C-6th neck A to Bb I think. I see that you put the bellcrank tuning screw in with the head of the screw on the collar side. Is there a reason for this? Is it a better way? Does it make a differance?
The bellcranks that are used to hold the pull rods in place do not line up with the the other bellcranks on the same crose rod. I guess that you left the set screws loose. Is that a better way?

I face the head of the screw towards the collar simply because there is more surface area for contact. If the bellcranks don't line up exactly, it's because of the line of the set screw hole itself...they're not all perfect. At this particular time, bellcranks are rare, and you use what came on the guitar, sometimes having to rethread...the crossrods are kind of funky also, you just deal with what is there. This in no way affects the adjustability/playability of the guitar. If it did, I wouldn't use it.
By the way, there are no 'loose' set screws on this guitar. Everything is straight and tight....like me.[This message was edited by Jeff Peterson on 08 February 2003 at 06:35 PM.] |

Last nite I had a gig at Tootssies and oh boy,what a sound.It was the band I never played with before,I only knew a one guy who invited me to sit in with them.The guys in the band said I can play a first set and then relax and watch the show,I don`t have to tell you that after a first set I played the whole nite and also got a studio gig,man,that Emmons really did a good job for me I guess.btw. no loose anything on that thing,works like a swiss watch.

Jeff,
The guitar looks great and I'm sure that it plays great. I didn't think that you left some loose screws. I just thought that allowing the support bellcranks to turn free was a new idea. I wish my guitar looked that neat!
