The first neck is tuned to E9 and the second neck to C6. It has the standard 8 pedal 4 knee lever Emmons setup. On the E9 neck:
LKL raises the "E" strings
LKR lowers the "E" strings
RKL raises string 1 and string 7 a half step
RKR lowers string 2 and string 9 a half step
On the C6 neck:
RKL raises string 3 a half step
RKR lowers string 3 a half step
I made the following improvements when I received the guitar:
The guitar was setup 1" lower than standard height. I bought new pedal rods and returned the guitar to standard height using all new ball joint quick connects.
I replaced all the under carriage pull rods with 308 stainless steel rods. The old rods were aluminum which tend to flex when depressing floor pedals.
I replaced the cross rod bushings with new delrin bushings and replaced all worn brass locking barrels located where the pull rods are connected to the bell crank.
I installed Lace Alumitone pickups as I felt the old pickups sounded a bit muddy.
The short pedal rods and the original pickups will come with the guitar. The guitar also comes with a near new hard case.
All mechanical parts were purchased from Michael Yahl at PSG Parts Inc. These improvements have been made over the last 10 months. There are some minor scratches on the right end plate. The handle on the case is wrapped with electrical tape as the rubber was peeling off.
The SS model was designed by Bud Carter when he worked for MSA. The pedal action on this guitar is smooth and positive. This is a beautiful instrument that sounds and plays as well as instruments twice the cost.
I am asking $2200 plus shipping in the lower 48. I would consider a Fender Telecaster as partial trade.
