Whew! Now I can rest easy knowing I didn't choose the wrong way.

With the pedal steel, the right way is any way you learn how to play!

Emmons and this was directly related to how my first steel was set up when I bought it. At that time, I didn't know there was a difference. Years later I sat down to someone elses steel and I wondered what the problem was, thought I broke something, LOL. Then he explained the difference to me. I suppose if that first steel was Day setup, I would play Day.

Buddy, with your humor I'm surprised that you didn't place yourself in the "Day" column!

Buddy, it is a priviledge for me to post on the same page with you sir. I may switch.

Day- my ankle only works that way.

whip,
you probably already know this but weldon does the same thing with his second string and i think jim crawford does too.as far as my set-up i play the emmons set-up on e9th and c6th.

Do you think this is indicitive of the actual percentages? Maybe the Carter folks could tell us how many special order the Day setup. I would guess no more than 10%.

Emmons--I play like Buddy

BTW, I've seen a lot of Emmons guitars set up Day, but no Days set up Emmons...I gotta get more sleep at night. <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Jason Stillwell on 09 December 2002 at 06:18 AM.]</p></FONT>

To add perspective to this poll, when I was with Emmons and Sho~Bud, unless otherwise specified, all guitars went out with my setup, which was configured around the A & B split. It wasn't until the Emmons guitar raised and lowered the same string that I came up with what is now referred to as the Emmons setup. During that seven year period, many players weren't aware of the constant changes we were going through, so they would order a guitar with the stock pedals and levers to be assured they were in on the latest. That would explain why the Emmons setup would have the edge.

Well, since my post resurrected this thread, (and I am glad it did), AND I have received my new (to me) Mullen D-10 8x7, I am going to say I am sticking with the DAY set up. It just feels more intuitive to me.
