No sir!, it is a genuine push pull, all the genius of Emmons combined with the class and beauty of a Shobud body...... (so I am told)... will know more if it arrives today :shock: :o :shock:

OK the "Shemmons" has landed and not to waste a lot of time I thought I would tear into it, here are some first pics.........
I need 3 pedal raising cross shafts, any chance you might have some? This guitar is an Emmons S10 in a Shobud body and to make things worse Left Handed! so the pedal shafts have been butchered, Can you help?

Can't you file out a groove for the pedal rod on the other side of that plate John and upturn the adjusting screw! ... to give you what you are after ???

Apologies for the crude edit!

Bob with your brain and my lack of engineering skills we could almost make half a team :D , it was even easier than that as i could turn the rod grabbers over and I have but, it would be nice to have some unmolested originals if I could find them.......

John, if you need slots or grooves milled along those shafts, I could do that for you.
