Should've had Bocchi start season 2 with something weird instead of that yamaha

Give her like a gibson jr bender, shes already a gibson player

Plus itd force Gibson to make b benders again, can never have too many benders

Plus it would likely bankrupt Gibson which would be funny

Setup :: Forrest B-bender Telecaster [7.8 lbs]

A slick b-bender tele in for a quick setup and I also ended up replacing the output jack.  In the right hands, this thing sound killer.  Not so much in my hands :).

Me absolutely butchering a Hipshot B-Bender that was in the shop recently.  Fun contraption, but takes some practice.

Hipshot B-Bender :: 1996 Fender 50th Anniversary Tele [8.8 lbs]

Here's a Tele with an aftermarket Hipshot string bender previously installed in for a setup.  I increased the neck angle and notched the saddles to help keep the string spacing consistent at the bridge.  As for the string bender, there is 6th string drop (set for a whole step E - D), 3rd string hand lever (set to raise a whole step G - A) and a hip-activated lever on the 2nd string (set for a whole step up B - C#).

With some practice this thing is a lot of fun.  I'll post a video of me fumbling around with this guy over on the blog soon.
