Best feature you'd want on your guitar

For me it would be interchangable pups like the Sierra or the new MSA guitars have.

Positive half stop on the second string. On my Emmons Push Pull the half stop on the second string lower is great. On any of the all pull guitars I have tried it was really spongy. You would think by now with all the technology we have somebody would have designed a real good one.

My 2d string half-stop works OK for up to two drinks....after that it becomes progressively unreliable!

Seriously, I still miss having a tone control on the guitar to make unexpected environmental adjustments on stage....instead of having to carry a Goodrich 7A for the same purpose.

Gene,
Last time I looked, it seemed like my Emmons came with a tone control.

Put a quarter in the slot and it plays
by itself!!!

Erv....so did my Sho-Bud, but I don't own either one currently! I think ALL guitars should have a tone control!

I may be asking for the moon here,
but it would be nice to be able to
tune your peddles from on top
instead of the side.

There are times when lack of space and light makes it just about impossible
to get at the end of your steel.
Then, if you drop your adjuster,
you're really up the creek with out a paddle.

Eric West, a mount for an AK-47 would do the trick. Why would you want to carry around the added weight of those water cans?

If you have an outside gig; then, just bring your standard 50 caliber AAA.

1. Infinitely adjustable (up and down) nut rollers so as to be able to adjust the tops of all strings so they are dead flat.

2. Infinitely adjustable legs AND pedal rods so as to be able to accomadate the wide differences between players' heights.

3. Easy relplacable pickups like used on Sierras and the new MSA Milleniums.

4. Knee levers that did not pivot right or left. Rather moved straight up and down. With infinitely adjustable height capability.

Gene,
I usually have the tone control on my Emmons bypassed. I really like the tone I get with the Goodrich 7A. It seems sharper and richer than what's on the guitar. The volume control also comes in handy too when playing a new venue.

The Anti tuning Pup that to ME, is soo Kool, I'm such a "Pig" about being SOOO IN TUNE. I HATE "Cabinet Droppings" you Know? It Stinks!

A bank switch that´s located in a position that makes it real easy to jump from E9 to C6 and back again in the middle of a tune; or instead a device that allows to turn on both necks simultaneously with no loss in output.

My Willy came with a tone control and when I ordered my Carter I had one factory installed.

I think a volume control would be nice. I did have one installed with the tone control in the Carter. I don't use it a lot, but it's nice to have it when I need it.

A lighted fretboard would be nice. Johnny, can you look into that for MSA?

Now Carl. How can they be "infinitely adjustable"? Just how far would you like those nut rollers to move?

(I just love pickin' on ya!)

Andy:
Have you installed the longer tuning nylon nuts on your guitar?. this will make it a lot easier to tune.Check the blocks in your case and see if you could use the longer ones. They are available from a number of places. I got mine from George L's.

David Cobb · Post by **David Cobb** » 26 Jan 2004 3:17 pm

Multiple-spool string feeds at the changer end for easier restringing.
Picture the feed system on a wire welder.
Just grab the broken end and pull it to the tuning key and cinch it up.
Oh, and motorized tuning keys.
I'm real lazy.

Lee,

Frank Parish · Post by **Frank Parish** » 26 Jan 2004 4:08 pm

Here's one. How about a device that could let you play in any key at any fret you wanted? No more problems with keys and the places you have to play them.
