Is it possible to adjust height? (McLaren Steel guitar)

Postby rossarisaig » Sun Jan 12, 2025 12:10 pm

I have a Pedal Steel made by McLaren but it is slightly too low for me. I cannot fit my right leg underneath while my foot is on the volume pedal.
I am wondering if it's possible to bet extensions or even new legs and rods?
Also, is mr McLaren still making instruments?
Many thanks,
Ross

Hi Ross, Ron and his wife have both been unwell just lately and I know he has not been in his workshop for a while but I will call and ask him if he can help you.

In answer to this question yes, and comparatively cheap compared to most just buy a lengnth of tube 3/4" od cut to req'd size and swap the fittings over that are easily removed job done!
