Best pedal stop.
Where is the best place too stop a pedal? Through the years there’s different stops
the builders have chose too stop there pedals.
Emmons push pull an Sho Buds are simple but work well.
There some stops that seem spongy.

Johnie, I'm no expert, but instinctively feel the latter w, Shobud and Franklin, would provide the most solid feeling stop.
The main factor I believe is a metal hitting metal method of pedal stop. Metal against wood gets squishier as the wood gradually is dug into. I think my 1976 MSA Classic may have had that method, can't quite recall.

That franklin has the beefiest stops i have ever seen, i like those very much indeed...the thinner ones like sho-bud work great too but i have had a couple slip off, because there is not much width and the bell crank rod has side to side play that needs to be taken out, it is possible for them to land slightly left or right of the stop screw, with that you get a mushy stop. Mullen guitars have great brakes too, no flex!
Happy new year to you Johnie, and thanks for all the steel guitar eye candy you give us.

I figured out a trick, which is only if you know how the Sho Bud works. it's possible to turn the allen screw upside down so the head is underneath.This requires loosening the bracket to create the space to screw it in (upside down), then reposition the bracket back to normal. It makes it rather awkward to twist from under the bracket to get the stop correct by fingers, blind, but I can fish underneath and do it. it is much more solid, and a pair of jam nuts on top will hold it in place.Larry Bressington wrote:That franklin has the beefiest stops i have ever seen, i like those very much indeed...the thinner ones like sho-bud work great too but i have had a couple slip off, because there is not much width and the bell crank rod has side to side play that needs to be taken out, it is possible for them to land slightly left or right of the stop screw, with that you get a mushy stop.

I'll know I'm playing good when the dog stops howling.

Wow, Swiss engineering at its best! And 22-hole bell cranks!
