Dekley Pickup Adjustment Springs

Post by thurlon hopper »

Tried adjusting the height on my Dekley D-10
and found that the pickup won't raise when the screws are turned counter-clockwise. Any
of you ever experince this with a Dekley? Need to know where i might find those springs. The pickup ont E-9 is farther away form the strings than the C neck and i'd like to have them equidistance if possible.
Thanks TJH

Hi Thurlon,

when I acquired my Dekley S-10 last spring, I found that the springs under the pickup were pretty well shot. I went to the hardware store, bought a variety of springs most closely matching the thickness of the ones that came with the guitar, and tried a couple until I found one with the propper tension. A bit oif a hassle moving the rods out of the way but otherwise a fairly simple operation: even I didn't botch it.
