GFI expo RKL G# to F#
hey everybody. I have a question regaurding my set up on a used expo I just bought. It seems that my RKL is set up to lower my 6th 2nd and 9th strings. I believe with a 1/2 stop on my 2nd and 6th strings. This is the first guitar I have owned with the 1/2 stop feature so im alittle in the dark. So heres my question. I changed my 6th string and now my knee lever will not drop the G# to an F# the furthest I can get it is to an F, and the nylons wont go any further. How do I get my whole step back? I know it had something to do with me changing the string, but I just can't tell what. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also my RKR raises my 1st and 7th strings to G.

Right. You'll either have to go back to the other string gauge or give that pull more leverage.
Your right knee setup as a whole sounds odd to me, but I'm a bit odd myself.
You just don't see the 6th move with two and 9 often.

The factory setup on the GFI's (my wife has a GFI Expo S-10) is to have the RKL Raise the 1st string a whole tone, Raise the 2nd string a half tone and Lower the 6th string a full tone.
The RKR lowers the 2nd string a full tone with a 1/2 tone "feel stop" provided by the 9th string 1/2 tone lower.
LKL raises the E strings 1/2 tone and LKR lowers the E strings 1/2 tone.
A .020 plain string for the 6th string is what is used so you can lower a full tone without any problems.
