Looking for close-up pictures of Push/pull

Post by SveinungL »

Just got my new (old) 12 string Emmons p/p. SInce I'm new to the system (I am used to all pull) I wonder if someone have some decent close-up photos of the undercarriage of an push/pull?
I wonder how tight the pull rods should be?

Hi, Sveinung
How's that Anapeg?
Bought you a p/p, eh? They're great guitars, but they can be a bit difficult to deal with at times. Best thing you can do is read John Lacey's Wilderness Guide . There's lots of great setup info there.

For lowers, you will want to ensure that there's enough slack in the rod to allow for the maximum raise distance before the lower starts. That ensures that it will lower all the way before the reaise finger kicks in. You can see the raise rod tighten, which it should do, but should not tighten to the point that the raise begins to engage.

I have every picture you could ever need, both of my S-12 p/p which I play often for gigs and sessions, and my D-10 that I sold a while back to Brad Sarno. EMail me for exactly what you need and I'll get them to you ASAP.

Thanks! (ha ha)
The Anapeg is the best sounding, best looking and best mechanically constructed instrument I've ever seen, heard, played etc.
but.... It's to nice to drag around everywhere...., so I got a second instrument, and it happends to be an Emmons 12 p/p.


It would be great to get two or three close- ups to get a view of the whole underneath.
Put them up on a webpage, or email them to me.
