Lever Lock

Does anyone know who might make and sell the type of lever lock like is used for E9 to B6 Dropping the 4th and 8th strings and locking them.. I need that type of mechanism for my C6 neck to raise the low 9, 8 and 7 strings each a whole tome making them G, B and D which , along with pedal 7 will give me all the noted of a G tuned Dobro .

No answer for the lever lock, but I did what you want to do to get the dobros tuning. I have my pedal 7 on a knee lever and I lower 6 to D, lower 7 to B, and lower 8 to G. Combining the lever with the pedal gives me G tuning from string 3 to 8. Been doing this for years. Works OK, but not as well as I hoped. I also have a pedal next to the pedal you want to do that lowers string 5 to F to get a 7th, and raises 1 from D -D# for an Aug 5th note. My tuning is on my website.

Talk to Bill or Tim Rudolph at Williams Guitar Co. Theirs is a short, tight lever under the center of the guitar. You can put it on any pulls you want. I have it on three Williams guitars but should work on any all pull guitar. It works well.
