Friends, Here is an excellent EMCI.
It currently has 9 pedals and 7 knees. (I have hardware to add another vertical lever or a standard lever or a wrist lever. The guitar had a wrist lever at some point. The wrist penetration was covered when I got the guitar
It has Geo L original pickups on both necks.
I added custom string rollers made by Jim Palenscar - top notch work.
The aluminum is polished to mirror finish.
The guitar has a few compensators, and the best part of it, it is a welded frame guitar and has the least cabinet deflection of any all pull guitar I've owned.
Amazing! An example, with both AB pedals down, string 4 typically drops no more than 2 hz.
The copedent is almost identical to Buddy's (Rest in Peace, Big E) with exception. The LKV lowers the G# to F#, Raises the D# to E, and Raises the F# to G#. Is split tuned on a half stop with pedals down.
RKL Lowers the B notes to Bb. The can be adjusted to lower a whole tone if you like. Also a split for string 5 with pedal A.
RKR has the most positive half stop feel I've ever witnessed. It comes from Buddy's setup. Its also raising 3 and 7 to C# on the C neck. And it is set perfect with the string nine on the E neck so that you can feel the half stop on string 2 very easily.
Pedal 9 - dropping 3&4 1/2 tone.
I'm asking $2800 - I will put your set up on and pay for the shipping.
Will add additional levers - we can negotiate those if you want.
Additional pictures I will email on request.
Would make a trade for the right 5 String Banjo plus some cash.
I will throw in 2 additional cross shafts (1 pedal cross shaft and one full cabinet cross shaft, 3 knee brackets (MCI), numerous bell cranks, other knee levers (2 reversing knees) and the original nut rollers that came with the guitar.

Posted 1 Aug 2015 1:34 pm Good deal. Good guy

I believe this was my former guitar and Bill has added levers, and pedals, custom string rollers by JimP.. and buffed the aluminum up nicely. As stated, he will pay for shipping and put your set-up on it. Plus you have the option to add more levers.
YIKES.
Very good deal and Bill C. is an honest dude. stevet |

Hey Steve! Thanks for the kudos. How are you feeling these days?
Yes this is the EMCI I got from you last year.
I forgot to mention, the cross shafts have been re-bushed. Not every single one, but for certain I know the pedal cross shafts have all been re-bushed. Also, replaced most of the swivels
The bell cranks used to have phillips head machine screws. I replaced them with allen head cap screws. And put new viton o rings on the pull rods.
The guitar went through near complete over-haul. all the changers were deep cleaned. Weak or stretched springs were replaced.
My goal was to tighten it up and adjust it so it has very nice smooth and positive feels on all half stops and all full stops.
Glad to answer any questions and send additional pictures.
Thanks for everyone's interest.
Steve, let me know how you doing man!

Bill did even more work on this EMCI than I realized. When I sold it I thought it was in great shape. With I could buy it back this time by someone above me has veto power.
Bill, thanks, the health is 100% better than it was 2014. I can walk around in the nearby park and even manage to go to the gym every other day. Also cook and play steel but still can't lift the right leg to play pedals 5 and 7 together which makes playing C6 more of a challenge. No big deal though. Thanks for asking. stevet |

Glad you are doing well Steve.
It was in great shape when I got the guitar.
I like to try to make every guitar I work on better than new.
This EMCI is really a great guitar.
Thanks for the response.

Posted 3 Aug 2015 11:40 am Cash plus trade
|

I have had several ask about trades. Initially, I said no to trades.
However, I would trade for the right 5 string Banjo. For example, you have a banjo worth $1000. I would trade for the Banjo plus some cash. You pay to ship yours and I still pay to ship the steel.
Food for thought.
