Added 3 knee levers to play C6th tuning.
You can play anything now.This is the way a D 10 should be setup
LKL raise 3 and 7 to C#
LKV lower 4 and 8 to G#
LKR raise 4 and 8 to A#
RKR RKR lwr 2
RKL LWR 3 to B
Note I added the Boo Waa to RKR to keep from jumping over to pedal 8.The knee lever is a little stiffer on E9 RKR.
Pedal 8 change.Lower 9 stg to D# to play 5 7 9
and raise 4 with C 6th LKR.Per Doug Jernigan.

So what is the intent of this post/topic?

Is this a couple of pictures showing the mechanics only for some reason?

Are you selling this guitar?
If so, does it belong in the For Sale area?
There are no pictures of the body/top.

Nice job upgrading your Carter Chuck. I know it will suit your needs better. Interesting changes on the back neck.

Thanks Chuck, very helpful.

I'll be getting c6 coped worked out sometime, not that soon, but good to see how all the lever mounts and pull rods lay out.

Very nice job Chuck and very nice pictures. Folks, I would like to add that our fellow forum member Chuck is very much a Senior Citizen and still going strong with his upgrades. He makes all his parts himself. I admire him and pat him on the back. J.R. Rose
