Owen Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I have always fancied a B Bender. They are mind bendingly expensive. Then one came up on Gumtree. Those saved searches are handy. This is a UK made Shelton B Bender installed in a mid 90s Japanese Squier. Lots of fun 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPJ Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 That’s a wonderfully simple take on the classic B Bender which seems to necessitate hollowing out the whole guitar. Nice score, now get those Clarence White licks practiced 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 I will be happy to wobble about the inside of some chords. There will be no licking. It is also going to go into my "everyday" tele and then I will flog this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Confused!!?? Is this like a Bigsby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 Nope. It actually enables you to raise the B string by a whole tone. This version has a series of levers. One end is attached to a strap button mounted through the neck plate the other end of that is attached to the ball end of the B string. By pressing the neck down I can get both Country AND Western. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 There is absolutely no danger that I will be doing anything like this. Not because I would not like to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
