thanks, Trap

Do you mean G# to F#?? If so, I had it for a while. I started out with different pulls on the LKV lever when I bought the guitar. I found on my guitar that I had to take the rod that pushed the crossbar that actually had the pull rods hooked to, and relocate it to a hole closer to the bottom of the guitar in the bellcrank (pull bar) that the knee lever was hooked to. It was a real pain in the a$$. The throw on the lever was so long that I put the lever back to the changes I ordered the guitar with. Sounds confusing I know, but if you look at the undercarriage, you see waht I mean.

hey richard.I know exactly what you mean.I relocated the bellcrank barrel to the bottom hole and the changer rod to the top hole of the changer (guitar upright) and got it to work.I just got a gig where this P.F. change (G# to E)is all over the ballads.
thanks, trap

Trap place the pull rod in the bell crank hole farthest from the cross bar.Use the changer hole closest to the pickup.You may still need to increase knee lever travel.Hope this helps.........bb
