Hey y'all. I just recently bought a (I'm guessing) mid '70s ZB Custom SD11 online on Reverb. Although not the ideal model I was looking for, I couldn't pass up the deal; I just want to live in the tone zone. Anyway, upon unboxing it, I noticed the C pedal was broken off, most likely from getting hit...

Howdy! I'm fairly new to PSG and I'm having an issue with the B pedal in relation to my 3rd string. It takes far too much motion to raise it up a half step, getting in the way of my A pedal so I cannot play in tune. I'm sure the solution is quite simple but I don't trust myself getting underneath th...
