B-Bender

[ryman150]

Anybody know if it is possible to have an Anderson ordered with a B-bender? I would love to get into a tele with one.

can't order it that way, but several people have had the glaser bender put on after the fact.

I have a tremolo on my tele, so I don't think I can do it to mine now, but I think I will definately consider this on the next one. Does adding a b-bender like this affect the Buzz Feiten thing at all?

Ryan

[tom]

correct, i don't think you can put a bender on a trem. no bfts probs.

[MarkW]

can you do a glaser bender on a hollow classic t or will the hollow chambers prohibit that?

[tom]

it has been done on a htc.

I have the pleasure of seeing a Hollow T Classic with a Glazer at least once a week.
Also have a few local T Classic's with Glazer's guys in town.
They work perfect.

Can a guy do one of these on a contoured Hollow T Classic?

Thanks,

Ryan

[tom]

i don't see why not, his stuff runs up the middle of the guitar.

[ryman150]

Thanks Tom. Now I just gotta justify spending a good $500-$600 on one.

[Roy (maybe)]

We have done quite a few but it is important to speak with Glazer to see what exactly he needs before ordering a T/A that will have the Bender. I think that the contoured heel may need to be flat—but that should be checked with Glazer for accuracy.

(Maybe)

Well...I took my butterscotch over the Glaser today in high hopes of having them stick a bender on. And they CAN'T put it on my guitar because of the contoured heel. Major Bummer...

And I don't exactly wanna put $600 or so up for buying a cheap Fender with a Parsons bender...I would rather save the cash and put it towards a new Anderson and then get a bender..

maybe it's just too much work for them, but they have done it before. we did one guitar for a guy with no contoured heal.

[ryman150]

I contacted Charlie McVay - so we'll see what he says. It's kinda a bummer to know that it "can" be done - but they for some reason don't now. Thanks for the info, though, Tom.

[tom]

in their defense, sometimes things that "can" be done are so much trouble that they shouldn't be done.

[ryman150]

Yeah, I can understand how things like that are. I guess I'll just have to come up with a plan B now..haha.

Thanks
