Here is a mod my buddy put on his emmons s10 push pull. Notice the wooden platform attached, as well as the extended arms.

being a long legged fellow with size 13 feet i must say as hokey as it looks seems like it would be much more comfortable then the standard setup.

A double width body (s/d-10) would do essentially the same without looking like Rube Goldberg contraption. Just my take on it. The angle of the leg is the important dimension, IMHO. I'm 6'2" w/size 11s and could never feel comfortable with a single neck body even tho I only play one tuning.

Maybe he has knee problems which won't let him fully bend (flex) his left knee

That looks more Red Green than Rube Goldberg. But it accomplishes the task.

But it sure is comfortable. I like the looks of it. It feels like your in the cockpit of a jet sitting behind his setup. Custom chair and armwrests too.
