You could try heating the barrel with a mini propane torch and applying some penetrating oil. I had success with this technique when I worked on a Dekley with corroded parts that were frozen up. If ... | |

Georgeboards has vinyl peel and stick fret boards in various lengths. They can be applied over an existing fretboard. I have used them on a steel I built, and they work great. | |

I don't know what you mean by "Emmons style" If you are referring to a push/pull, I can see no way of doing this. Your steel appears to be a rack and barrel setup which is totally differe ... | |
