Mechanic in the NYC area
Hey Steelers. I've been off the forum for a dog's age.....
My ShowPro needs maintenance......I can send her back to Jeff, who will gladly fix it...but I'm hoping to find someone locally.
The issue is that a few of my knee levers are sticking.
My RKL raises strings 1 and 2, and lowers string 6 a whole step. Kinda complicated to get just right,
My LKV is just "sticky"
Maybe it;'s because the guitar is 10 years old...needs maintenance?

I've been taking my steels to Dave Grafe, here on the forum. He is in the hudson valley.

Re: Mechanic in the NYC area
Dave Grafe is great!
We were able to sort out the knee lever issue.
We worked together which was incredibly informative for me.
I know how to make some adjustments under the hood- Dave was able to identify why the knee levers were stuck- it was a relatively easy adjustment once he found the issue.
I walked away with a fully functional SHowPro and a better understanding of how it works
Thanks Dave!!!
