Copedent change in PP

Post by Mark Keogh »

G’day legends, I’ve chanced on an opportunity to purchase an Emmons SD PP which has the Franklin set up with the E raises on the LKL and lowers on the RKL. It has the 4th Franklin pedal which I believe lowers 10-7-6. I’ve been playing standard Emmons set up for 12 years now with both E’s on the left. I’m sure I could adapt to the change but I love my Williams and hope to keep and use both instruments. My concern is if having two different set ups is a head scramble and if so, how difficult would it be to change the Emmons. I won’t be doing the work so the technicalities will be lost on me. I’m more interested in the practicalities and finding someone in Australia who might be able to do this job if required. Thanks in advance for any help you guys are awesome!

You need both guitars set up the same, For a smooth switch between the guitars.
Because of finding parts, And the work it could take to change the Emmons PP. You may want to consider changing the Williams to match the Emmons PP. And relearn the lever set up.
Its your choice. Good Luck in making a pair out of the guitars.
Happy Steelin.
