Abstract
In a pedal steel guitar a plurality of pivotally interconnected levers, selectively moved by the pedals, are connected with the quitar string ends opposite the neck end of the guitar for effecting string pitch changes. Vertically movable posts, each supporting a pulley over which the respective string is entrained, are disposed adjacent the neck end of the guitar for positioning the upper surface of all the strings in a common plane.
