Well after many hours of work and head scratching, the install of 2 knee levers is complete! And to my surprise, it all works correctly!! Thank you James and Teresa Moorehead for your great parts and tech support. I had to do a little "engineering" to get everything to work because some of the parts on the guitar were not really standard stuff but it worked great in the end!! Let me warn others, this is not a small undertaking for a relative newbie!! Check the pics!

Bob, after what I just went through, I'll never get rid of this guitar!!
Tom, I gotta learn to use this vertical knee before I worry about anything else. Very Happy

Jason, I did basically the same thing to mine. I studied many a picture. I had a little help from Michael Yahl and Jim Flynn. I installed my vertical upside down so the straight side of the lever was against my leg. I also thought it looked better.
Nice Bud. RP

Bob the E's are still on the right. I would be lost now if I sat behind one with them on the left!!!
