Hi All,

I'm thinking of adding a left knee vertical knee lever to my mid-70s Sho-Bud Pro III Custom and I'm wondering if anyone who has the L->V could post some undercarriage pics of how it's been installed, either factory or 3rd party. I think I have most of the parts already.
My steel is probably about 1976, welded parts, 2-hole pullers, nylon tuners, double raise/double lower, teardrop knee levers. (In other words, not a birdcage model and not a super pro parts model). It's a great steel but all my others have that 5th lever vertical so it would be nice to also have it on this guitar.

Of course, any pics of your L->V knee lever on a Pro II would also be helpful.

Thanks,

Bob M.

I installed this on a R&B but most factors apply. It folds back nicely to allow the case to close. The tear drop is upside down on purpose so that the (tear drop) doesn't dig into your leg. It worked great. RP

Thanks, guys, for taking the time to post these pics.

Doug, that's the full-boat treatment on your red steel, eight knees, pretty impressive. Hope you're doing well.

Best,
Bob M.
