I would just call 417-859-2161 and give them the model of the guitar. The people at GFI have always been good to help with problems and parts. Good Luck and Happy Steelin.

GFI leg question

Post by Dwight Lewis »

Thanks, I just have some legs for sell and a forum member asked about the threads. As many of you know there are a couple of unique steel guitar companies out there that have very different ideas when it comes to certain parts, ie legs, bellcranks, cross shafts etc. GFI uses a different method in their legs, to include the thread for the legs are much beefier.

Bob I was typing so fast, I didn't see you had answered the question already. You were right then and right still. I referred the info to BSG for some new leg sockets. Thanks again Bob, you genius you. 🙂
