Does anyone have a BMI S10 Keyless with a LKV fitted? I'm in the process of adding one to mine, however I have a couple of things not quite working out. Any chance you could post some pics showing the underside of your guitar and in particular the LVK?
Many thanks,
Damien |

What specifically is not working? Here is a pic of an S12 keyless with the dual push-pull changers. The vertical lever crossbar is in the space just beyond P5. The lever itself is 9" long.
I moved all three left knee lever brackets on this guitar to get them into a more compact configuration against the back apron, the only trade off is that I have to back out the longer screw on the vertical to drop it down and allow LKL to fold down, but it's a very minor 10 second inconvenience at setup time.

Ian, thanks very much for taking the time to do that. Looking at yours, I'm not sure that I have the LKV in the correct position. I do have some new rods on the way from Don at BMI, so I'll know the correct position when they arrive.
The other problem is that the 2 x holes in the crossbar for the actual lever are right towards the back of the guitar, meaning the lever protrudes past the bsck of the guitar - clearly not right. I think it has been drilled in the wrong spot,I can easily re drill the 2 x holes.
I have had to cut some of the rods to get the stops and changes right - these keyless guitars are a little fiddly but they play fast and smooth. |
