I'm gonna put the B to Bb on my RKR Lever. I was hoping to get some ideas for proper rodding.

look on Google "images" for small ball joints & look up a company called IGUS. Hope this helps.

You can find some thing to replace that Joint & possibly have a better joint.

The back neck casting is like the front neck casting, but it's missing 2 adapter covers & the changer fingers, which can be made. I would turn it into an all-pull guitar & kiss the cables good ...

Yes Dave, I would be more than happy to see what you have accomplished. My Rodding Chart will just be a copy of something I see, which isn't a benchmark, but may be all I have to go on.

Say it ain't so... This is as inexpensive as it gets... you can't a new one for this price... Go borrow the money, steal it, whatever it takes to get this guitar. You won't see this price again...

Well, I'm gonna ask what It weighs, so I will know. It is a beauty, I'm hopin' all of that gear under there is needed. I'd hate to find out there had to be more....

sounds like you unfortunately bought a great steel with the awfully bad Emmons setup, only a Contortionist's Mother would love it. The Day Way Setup, modded for U12 makes it so much easier to play.

Look up Decals on the internet. Find someone that will make you two (2) , take a picture of what you have, & ask if they will do some artwork for you. Get them to send you a pic of what the end ...

Start off at $2500.00 & go up from there. You can't replace it for that. You might decide to keep it, if it sets awhile. But if you give it away, it'll be gone a long time...
