I just got a clark sd-10,sr#-144 and its got awesome tone. Is there anyone here in oklahoma that can work on these,I need to change it from day set up to emmon's set up on pedals and change some knee levers to.I was going to try this myself but after many hours of staring at the rods and levers and gizzmoes all I got was a headache

Can anybody help me out here with some info. on this?
Thanks

Byron I owned a D-10 Clack at one time. Great guitars.
Mr, Jim Clark that built your guitar still lives in Owaso OK. just outside of Tulsa.
I don't have his phone number, but everyone around Tulsa knows Jim Clark.

Fred, thanks for that info., I didn't know he was still around. I will try to locate him. I think I'm really going to like this Clark if I can get it set up for me. It's a really cool guitar that I lucked into! Thanks.

I had two Clark Custom guitars, my first was a pull/release type, a beautiful natural top with red aprons. I only played it a year or two until I wanted to try some different setups. I then got an all pull D10 that I owned for about 20 years. It sounded and played great, but weighed a ton and was almost impossible to change the setup on. I always had access to machine shop equipment so I was able to make the parts I needed to change setups. Finally, about '93, I bought a Williams with a modern style changer. I could change a pedal setup in just a few minutes. I thought I'd died and went to heaven.
