Al,
NO way this dude evah gonna be midout pedals
But I am in such euphoria from the Hawaiian show, I want to play that kind of music too. Just havin' a ball doin' both. I sold my Fender triple neck custom for 75 dollars to a pawn shop in 1957.
Whoda knowed huh?
My "one knee lever doing different pulls on command", is on the back burner temporarily. As you may know, I have, for the past two years been involved with a major land and home remodeling "expedition". And we are still not finished. Thank God I can see light at the end of the tunnel.
At one time when we had a "grand canyon" in the back of our house, I quipped, "Sweet Lord, what have I done?". My wive almost cried.
But thanks be to HIM, things are really turning out nicely now. Hopefully when I get my garage (crammed 3 high with woodworking machines), cleaned out and move the machines and everything else into my new shop, I will be able to concentrate on my dream.
In the meantime, I am having the time of my life playing this new Excel. I cannot tell you how much I love this guitar and the set-up I came up with. Let me say that my idea of moving pedal 6 to a knee lever made it possible for me to be comfortable with a U-12 coming from a 30+ yr D-10 background. If it were still pedal 6, I would NOT like it at all. I use this knee lever with every single pedal and knee lever except the one that rasies the E's. So it just has to be on a knee lever to my way of thinking.
And yes, I will play pedals, and my 7 string Rick bakelite, the 10 string Eddie Alkire Eharp and to be purchased triple neck Fender. Who knows, I might just sell my Emmons' LeGrande D-10

Did someone say I was opening a steel guitar museum? What a delightful thought
take care Al, and God bless you always,
