I am too small (and with hip disease) to reach my left knee levers easily. Any idea how to expand them (just 3 inches) longer?
It's an ETS (perfect guitar).
Thanks for advices.

Are they too far apart from each other, or are the levers too short?
If the levers are too short, one of the accepted ways is slipping a snug-fitting pipe or tube over the lever.
Another is to get a piece of angle iron and screw it into the levers.

Could the guitar be too tall? Maybe needs to be lowered an inch?

Sabine,
The way I have handled this problem in the past to put a flag on the knee lever and extend it down a ways.
It also makes it very comfortable.  |
