Sho-Bud Super Pro - 1979 - Help Needed!

[Alexplayssteel]

Hello!

I've got a Sho-Bud Super Pro from 1979 (DAY SETUP). I'm new to PSG and need some help...

I want to try and get the LKL (lowers the Es) to be closer to my left knee. It seems to have a half way point where I push it so far and it flattens the E but then I push further and it flattens it fully. It's hard to push the lever all the way I end up have my knees in this \ / position.

I have also noticed that the rod for the LKL is rattling on other parts under the steel? How do I stop that rod touching other parts?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Alex
You need John Davis to answer this properly, but here's a couple of things you could try.

Slacken off both E,s at the hex nut until the lever does not affect the 2 strings at all.
The physics of this is that the thinner string (4) has to travel further to achieve the lower note that the fatter (8) string. So, adjust the 4th string so it is in tune. If you need to, you'll have to get underneath the guitar to check the 'travel' of the lever. You will see that where it stops can be adjusted. Then set the tuning for the lower E (8) string.
If tuning at the hex nuts doesn't fix it, get underneath again! and try again.
If that doesn't work (and I think it will) keep checking this forum. John will jump in, assuming he is fit and well in these trying times.

need to see it to fix it would cost 20 quid each way to get it collected
