Hey Fellas I have been working on a multi-Kord and am in need of some parts to get it up and playing. It is an 8 string and the roller nut and bridge axles and rollers are missing. Anyone know of a supply of parts. I really like my 6 string one, and would like to get the 8 playable. The string spacing and the ease of changing copedants at will has been a lot of Fun!!

I've made substitutes using steel rod and bass string ball ends. If you know any bass players or techs ask them to save ball ends - might take a while to get a full set, but it works very well. I've done it on both Multi-Kords and Fenders.

Thanks for the idea. Are the ball ends large enough to give a nice radius on your Multi-Kords?

Shot Jackson used string ends for rollers on his early model Sho~Buds with a roller nut.

I actually had some made by Mc Master-Carr. If you have one, you can measure and use as a model/template for the others. They weren't that expensive.
