E9 G Lever Poll

[Clete Ritta]

Jerry, that happy accident is exactly what I was trying to find out about.
On a D10, the C6 pulls enable an E9 lever to do things not easily done otherwise on an S10 setup.

One advantage of a letter scheme for levers is that it describes the function, not the location, as RKL would suggest only where it is but not what it does.

I need to investigate which string on which neck is contributing to the half stop feel.
[Besides the strings mentioned on the front neck, I'm lowering the 3rd string on the C neck, a half step to B on that RKL.]

It just worked out that way, and I never really tried to figure it out, but for future reference I'll need to document it....and it might be different depending on the guitar.

I'll post it here after I determine which one it is.

The reference in my post to RKL was just to describe where that change is located on my guitar[s].

...Thanks guys! Now I know where my G lever is! Now, can anyone tell me what happened to my "G-String"??

[Jeremy Craft]

I raise 1 a half step while lowering 6 a half step. That gives me either a minor chord in the pedals up position, or a #9 chord with string 3.

I have 1st & 7th string doing a 1/2 tone raise.

I currently don't really have a "G" lever since I'm experimenting with a "low E" setup and decided to use that lever to lower the 7th string a whole step (to get a "strummable" E chord). Before that, I used to set it up the old-fashioned way, 1st and 7th string F# to G. In my playing, I just don't have a lot of use for the whole-step raise which everybody seems to prefer these days.
The most obvious use for the F# to G is probably to get a dominant 7th chord with the A+B pedals down or a minor chord on strings 1 4 5 and 7 8 10 (no pedals). Since there are several other ways to get dominant 7ths and minors, I feel like I can do without it for now. But it's still a change I like and want to have again someday.

Hi Blokes, I like the humour all over the place, even on the USA Steel Guitar Forum.

Chis Ivey's is worth mentioning, ---Geronimo, G string... etc lever.

Here in South Africa we would have called it at best the giraffe lever or at worst the G spot lever.

I go with Johan Jansen, 1 and 7 raised.

Lovely post.
