Installing knee levers on a R&B Sho Bud

Post by J. David Carrera »

Howdy,

I'm planning to install a LKL and LKR on my Sho Bud 6139 rack and barrel. I got the parts from PSGparts.com. Does anyone who has done this before have any tips for placement? I'd like to avoid drilling any unnecessary holes.

Thanks

JD

I added 3 levers to this guitar some years ago. The location of the levers is pretty standard. Your physical height is something to be considered, if you are on the short side, you might want the left knee levers a little more toward the center of the guitar. Here are a couple of pictures.

In general, the LKL is between the B and C pedal and the LKR is 5 1/2 - 6" inside that.
