Why not?

[Mike Preuss]

Never liked leaving my picks, bar and other accessories lying around. Pretty soon here I won't have to

[Samuel Phillippe]

Why Not? Great idea. I like that better than the one I have that clips on the legs.

Is this your design ans build?

Thanks Sam!

This is my design and build, using an Emmons neck and push pull changer.

My first iteration of this concept involved a completely removable neck with storage inside. Cabinet drop was an issue so I compromised and this was the result:





This guitar plays great, and no issue with cabinet drop.

I don't have pedals installed yet on this new keyless drawer "emmons," so I can't measure cabinet drop, but based on my previous experimentation, I don't think it will be an issue.

You do some really nice work! I would like to see from all the angles when you get a bit further.

I'll see your Why not? and raise you one Why tf not?
I like.

[Mike Preuss]

Haha thanks guys,
I'll put up some more pics as work progresses.

Here are some pics. The guitar is finished and sounds and plays quite well. Like all my builds it's a Frankenstein mutt. I have now tried my hand at building all pull, pull release, and push pull with success.

IMO push pulls are a special instrument. The changer design is elegantly simple. I would be curious to find a way to make the pull train easier to work on. For example how LKL, LKR, and C pedal all correspond with each other on string 4 can really be a bugger.

All pulls have the advantage of ease of adjustment. Perhaps there could be a way to have my cake and eat it too. I've looked at forum pictures of one of Bobby Bowmans push pulls. He seemed to have some clever insights.

Anyways I digress. Thanks for looking and reading![/img]
