Greetings & Blessings. Would anyone have, or have any knowledge of a Ernie Ball Black Eagle 3 floor & 1 knee that they could share some information concerning parts? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you kindly.

A friend of mine had one of these about 25 yrs ago. I remember it being a nice, tight, no bull little pull and release guitar.

I witnessed Buddy Emmons playing one of these at the Ernie Ball NAMM show booth, sometime in the early 80s. Made it sound like a push-pull!

I think these guitars used Bela keyless tuners on them. You could search the forum for info on these. They did need careful maintenance, but worked well.

UPDATE !!!
These are the parts that I am in need of. The parts are slightly worn at the point the white arrow points to, causing the strings to slip and not stay in tune. Primarily the curved (what I call) locking plate. If anyone could help with parts, information on anyone who could make the parts, or anything I can do to correct this situation, I would greatly appreciate any information, suggestions, and help. This seems to have been an issue with these parts, as others have had the same issues. I very much would like to correct this, and make it available for someone else to enjoy. Thanks and Blessings.
