Push Pull Changer/Under Pics

Post by David Mills »

Hi there, I was curious if any of my fellow Push Pull players would be willing to share some pictures of their changers and undercarriage. Especially if you have some of the more modern changes (ala Franklin/Johnson/White). I've been debating on trying some of these changes on my P/P but would really like to see everyone's different methods of doing some of these changes and any changes I may not have, or seen before, heck even the ones I do have that may be done differently. I also thought it could be a cool resource for anyone looking for the same. My apologies if this has been done before. I did a few searches and didn't find anything quite like this yet. Thanks!!!

I put up a video showing how to get 2 independently tunable half-stops on the same knee lever on a push/pull :

Here's the undercarriage of a '74 that I restored a year ago. I have some close-ups if you want to see something specific.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

Here's more pics David. I use two RKL's, an inside and an outside. I also make my own feel stops, they are the black knobs with a spring behind it you can see in some of the pics.
