Awesome guitar
this is a one off guitar Gary built
I have the matching keyhead that was on my guitar that came off a d10 Emmons.

[Dennis Wireman]

....

[Ben Thomas]

Is it this one?


Also, wondering if this “one off” with the Emmons head sounds different than a new Ritt Prestige model that I’m interested in.

[Derek Puckett]

This guitar is 1/2 longer than other prestige guitars to allow for the Emmons keyhead ,it has the coil taps on back pad, The back apron is one piece were all others are 3 pieces. Also changer stop are built into the endplates.

Im thinking MIke Bourque bought this Rittenberry new. Knowing Mike he probably came
Up with these ideas an Gary agreed too this custom build.
Awesome steel with a casted Emmons key head, an 1/2 inch longer body an
Stops in the changer adds tone. Maybe I should keep this great Rittenberry for a while.

[Derek Puckett]

Johnie you are correct

[Ben Thomas]

For whoever is interested in this particular steel, here’s the copedent and a video of Mike Bourque playing on it and mentioning and showing the interesting 5th pedal:

I hope this helps whoever is interested in it.

[Johnie King]

Thanks Ben the E pedal no longer pulls all those pulls.

[Paul Mozen]

So what does the E pedal pull now?

[Johnie King]

Paul this Rittenberry is a modern all pull steel with a three over three changer an easy too remove bell cranks an is capable of about any copedent a person can dream up.
I'm sure some of the forum members could tell us what they would suggest what pulls would work on the E pedal.
Here in Nashville we have steel mechanics such as Wayne Dahl an Buck Ried that are considered some of the best (steel guitar) set up people you could ask for.



I'll ask in the steel guitar forum pedal steel section for suggestions on the ( fifth E pedal ).

[Johnie King]

Ben thank you for the video of Mike Bourque playing this Rittenberry.

[Jack Stoner]

If the 5th pedal is set up back to what it was, that switches it to C6th. Excluding 1st string (G or D) ECAGECA is strings 2 through 8 on a standard C6th.

[Paul Mozen]

Thx Johnie. I guess what I'm asking is do the rods I need to setup those 4 strings come with it and how is it currently set up?

[Johnie King]

Ben I see know what your saying I'll check with Gary Rittenberry. Looks like I would need four more bell cranks an rods an 4 nylon tuners. .

But I doubt 6 pulls an one pedal would be comfortable too use.
