The lever action appears push the guitar away from the player, horizontal action...correct. If so that is a good way to pull multiple strings...(I use horizontal motion in my ancillary pulls also) as the lever DOESN'T have to support the weight of the guitar as a vertical lever actuating the strings with a downward motion would and thus be prohibitive with a multiple pull due to it's dual function i.e. supporting the guitar's weight AND pulling three strings. It would be a tough pull. Multiple strings on one lever with your lever setup, would require minimal force to actuate. Nice Design!!
How about reposting the pics here...I'm sure everyone would be interested!!
Thanks for the info!!
