I am in need of a half-dozen or more pull rod retainers, either the wire spring (preferred) or metal clip type will serve. For Fessenden and Desert Rose all-pull guitars.
Also looking for a few finger return springs for the Desert Rose D10 recently purchased.

Dave, I've got the rod clips.

I talked to Chuck a couple weeks ago and he's having a time finding those finger return springs. I guess his supplier isn't making them anymore or they've changed the size and they no longer fit.

Ha! Just got off the phone with Chuck, he's sending me the clips I need, and you just reminded me of other thing I meant to ask him about but just couldn't remember at the time better start writing things down as my senile years approachMichael Yahl wrote:Dave, I've got the rod clips.

Re: Pull Rod Retaining Clips
Hey Dave, does the PSG Parts Pull Rod Retaining Spring Clip work with your Fessenden? My Fessy must have come out just before Jerry started using clips. The first time I changed all the strings by remivng all the old ones first was a real eye opener. Fortunately, I had charted out the rodding, but boy was that a pain. Anyway, I'd love to find some clips that work. I don't quite see how this one catches the rod.
By the way, anyone with a picture of the clips that Jerry eventually started using, I would love to see what they look like.
Thanks.

Mine doesn't either, but at some point I understand that Jerry started using some sort of clip to keep the rods from dropping out of the bell cranks (should you remove all the strings, for example). I'd love to see an example of the solution he came up with.Dave Grafe wrote:My Fessy does not use clips, I was beginning a rebuild on a Desert Rose but no longer.
