I have been the third owner of this c. 2005 guitar, since 2012.
It is in very good overall condition, sounds great and stays in tune well. It is set up E9/B6 U12 with a lock lever and a three lever ... |

That is a lovely guitar Dave.
Does it sound like the old rack and barrel ShoBud single 10's? If so, it is definitely a keeper. I missed the part about the fourth lever. Coffee hadn't kicked in a ... |

Two questions apply here.

Greetings from Victoria, Cappone.
You will need to use the extra rod method to accomplish those splits to C because the split screws set the lowest note on the string. Time to call Mullen for the ... |

Compensators are most often used to adjust the first and seventh string F# notes to sound "sweet" as a sixth with pedals A&B down. Cabinet drop takes this part of the way but some player ... | |

That under carriage seems pretty clean, complete and mostly unaltered, Joe. Another rod to hook up the string 10 raise on the B pedal would be nice. You will also want another rod to set up split tuni ... | |

To clarify a little, you need to look at the four note diatonic chords.
G major: G6 spelled G,B,D,E contains the same four notes as Emi7, spelled E,G,B,D. The first three notes of these chords ... |

Looks like a kind of mashup between Ext. E9 and E9/B6.
You should probably pick one or the other. Lots of pedals and levers for a nice uni or an ultra loaded Ext E9. Pedals and levers are prett ... |

I think you might easily be creating a problem by moving your 2 & 9 lowers to LKR. Finessing the half stop while operating various A B C pedal combinations is not something I'd want to deal with. ... | |

I might add that this is likely an E9/B6 Uni, but a good clear shot of the whole undercarriage and one of the endplate showing the nylon tuners will allow us to suss out the copedent PDQ.

Grind a bevel on the end of the rod you are about to thread.

Lots of U12 players lower string 2 to C# along with the E lowers. It will make the lever throw a little longer and stiffer but you'll get used to it.
