I want to be able to split tune my E raises and E lowers on an all-pull guitar to get an E natural when they are both engaged. By the way, my E raises are on my LKL and my E lowers are on my LKR. Does anybody know how I can rig up this split?

Why ??

Have you got other raises/lowers on the same levers, that you want to activate whilst leaving the E's where they are, or are you winding us up ? Shocked

If using both levers now comes out flat of where you want your E, try adding a lowering pull rod on the lever that raises E to F. Tune D# the old way, then tune E using the raise pull. F will then be too high so use the new pull to pull it back down to where you want the F.
OTOH if using both levers now comes out sharp, add a raise to the E-to-D# lower.

Now how will you move your LK in both directions at once?
