Question for Paul Franklin
Hey Paul I believe I've got some conflicting information about one of your changes.
Do you lower or raise your 6th string from G# to E?

Hi Josh,
Look at your question, and it will become obvious, that Paul wouldn't be raising (nor anyone else) a string 8 (1/2) tones.
So the only thing left, is he must be lowering, which is still a large drop down of 3 (1/2) tones. But yes, it would be a drop (lowering).
Hope that helps you..... and have fun...

There was a recent post on that subject. Seems that Paul has a Raise from G# to B and a lower from G# to E on the same knee lever - he then engages (with nylon tuner nut) whichever change he feels inclined to use. It's a great idea. I had several extra pulls added on my Rittenberry which I usually don't use -but they are there if I need them!

i saw (and got to meet) paul last month at a vince gill concert - we had good seats on the steel side and i noticed that he constantly was reaching over near the changer to "switch something" - - this baffled me - coil tap? - but this post may explain what he was doing - engaging different changes

He has two RKRs, one for each neck. He folds one up and the other down when he changes necks. Maybe that's what you saw.Jerome Hawkes wrote:i saw (and got to meet) paul last month at a vince gill concert - we had good seats on the steel side and i noticed that he constantly was reaching over near the changer to "switch something" - - this baffled me - coil tap? - but this post may explain what he was doing - engaging different changes
