| Fred Justice would most likely have his last copedant, as he built him a Justice a year or two before he passed away. |

Yes, Weldon lowered his 4th string on the E 9th a half, on his RKL

Makes sense. So is the copedant shown above in error?

It was probably an early one. He had several listed in the Manual of Stlye book from throughout his career.

| The one shown above was shown in the Manual of Style as his current setup at the time, which he said he'd had for "quite a while". But that book came out in 1980. |

That was only in his last few years. All of the hit records he played on he didn't lower the 4th string.

CLARITY, they all lowered the 4th, just not with a lever. The early GREATS emerged from an era without levers, many times not by choice but rather availability. HOW we lower the 4th is not near as important as actually lowering it.
Adding the 4th lower lever is called evolving. Its the note, the music ,that matters.

Ok, good luck ! 
Growing up, I recall one early Birthday I got a Baseball Bat with Micky Mantle's name on it. I don't recall ever hitting a home run though.
