Normally, You lower the 2nd from D# to D then to C# but the 9th string only gets lowered to C# from D. Some guys prefer to split the 2nd string changing to hit the middle note more precisely. I don't have a problem going to D on the 2nd string. Coming from C# back to D can be problematic for some pe...

Hello all, I had decided to try an S-10 guitar and prefer the SD-10. I guess I prefer the size although I loved the weight of the S-10. The S-10 has been sold and I am now looking for an SD-10. Prefer all pull but will look at what is out in the market place. Ideal would be 4 pedals and six knees. L...

Hi David, I got this email from Lloyd this morning and he asked me to pass his comments on to you. David, I didn’t ‘cringe’ when I heard your interpretation of “Hogan’s Dream”. Instead, you played it beautifully. I enjoyed listening and it evoked a smile and memory of why it was originally written. ...

Really nice job on one of my favorite Lloyd offerings. Your interpretation is spot on.

Loved it.

Looking at the pics I would say that someone who can completely rebuild that guitar should take it. The undercarriage looks like it has been in a smoke shop for years. Not sure it would work like it is now

I have seen Paul's guitar up close and there appears to be several compensators on his guitar to help deal with tuning issues. I have an Excel S10 ExStar with virually no cabinet drop at all. Doesn't help when you hit a clunker!!!

The split screws are to the left of the changer. Holes are small and you need small Allan wrench that was sent with your steel to make the changes.

Hope this helps

Pete,

Perhaps a longer split screw could do the trick. Just a thought.

What Ian said,

The split screws are hard to get to but that wrench does work and the splits stay in tune amazingly well.

Would love that. Thanks in advance

My transaction with Excel was also very smooth. Dean, If you are anywhere close to the DFW area I would be glad to show you my email string to them.

Another way to do this tuning is to tune the 2nd string open to D#. Then Engage the lever and tune the drop lower than C# almost to C. Then tune the half stop with the D string tuner. Finally use the split screw on the changer to tune the 2nd string full drop to C#. This has worked well for me and t...

Don Not sure of the aluminum necks but Hal did own a Lacquer blond Emmons with wooden necks which I bought from him in the summer of 1975 when I left Nashville. I later sold that guitar to Jay Ganz who still owns it to the best of my knowledge. I know he had multiple guitars and sold it to me becaus...
