I had one that I got from Billy Knowles, it was a bit of a beater and priced accordingly. It was from the late '60s with the older style thick bell cranks, rosewood mica with a decal on the cabinet. S ...

...How do I change this so both strings take up the full throw of the pedal?

1597 S would be late '70s, probably '78 or '79-ish, cut back with narrow cast pedals. It's worthwhile giving Emmons Co. a call to see if they have the original records, but for '70s guitars the exact ...

Hi Johnny, I sent you a PM re: pedals and pedal rods

She's a beauty Jon, I hope you will enjoy her company for many years to come. Ross is a true artist, craftsman and just general all-around badass.

Looks a bit rough under there, I'll downgrade my estimate a bit, maybe $800-$900. The two added knees in particular look pretty funky, but a few other bits too. It probably all does what it's supposed ...

These do the trick to adapt standard legs for old Fenders, 5 for $8.55: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rnVAgIdPL._SX522_.jpg

While it is still a simple student guitar, I would definitely rank these a notch above a Maverick. The changer fingers are much more substantial and have multiple holes for pull rods with an open end ...

That's a student model, these were built for Fender by Sho-Bud in the late '70s. It's kind of like an upgraded Maverick, pull-release changer with Sho-Bud Super Pro style mechanics in the undercarriag ...

You would have to set it up with a stop on the initial knee lever raise to C that would then be released via a separate pull rod when you engaged the A pedal to allow the full raise to D. It would tak ...
