I've had to change a couple of things. Bill hadn't allowed for the Day setup and positioned the left knee levers too far to the left (I sit quite far to the right as well) but it was no big deal to move them.
Non-uni players skip this next bit!
It's only a 3up/3down changer and I need 4 raises on string 9:-
A pedal to C#
D lever to D
P8 to B#
CKV to B# (as well as lowering 5 to A#)
To get the 4th raise, he had bridged over to the first lower hole to deliver it as a split tuning. Unfortunately, to keep the rodding neat he chose the A pedal raise to do this, which meant that I could not then raise 5 to C# and 9 to D at the same time to get the 13th chord I'm used to. So I rerodded it to put the split on P8 where it causes no trouble - not as neat, but who's going to see?
None of this is intended as a criticism of Bill Rudolph, who has created yet another beautiful guitar with engineering quality to match.
