The standard model is set here in the shop to standard specs. and I can do custom setups to order.
Can do up to 3 bends on one string
The setup can be changed on the upgraded undercarriage to movable bell cranks.
It is best to order the guitar set up the way you want it so no changes are needed to the undercarriage
I will upload some photos of the upgraded undercarriage as soon as I get some photos took of it.

Thanks for the info on the changer, setup and pulls. Can we still look forward to some under carriage and mechanism photos? BTW, the non-pedal that you just sold over in the Classifieds looked great.

Jimmie,
These things look like a ton o' fun!!!!
As far as a pick up, look back and see what some of the great dobro players have used in the past. I remember seeing some endorsements in magazines past. Condenser mikes are quite cheap and would sound good, but in a noisy environment that would not be possible. Good work. A real nitch filler. I wish you much success. Ron

Thanks I am experimenting with some pickups to try and find the best natural resonator sound for my Hudsonator guitars.
