B-Bender anyone?

[Briggs]

Anyone out there playing a b-bender? Not necessarily useful for what I play, but pretty awesome none the less. How natural/sensitive is the motion activating it? Does it wreak havoc on your b string as far as wear/tuning? Just curious...I'm not chopping up the crowdy anytime soon! Though it is pretty cool on an acoustic...

would love to see a better shot of the mechanism. sounds like he's got some little strings on there too.
i don't have any extensive time with a bender but it didn't seem like it would be a big adjustment. you sure do have to think different though. i kept reaching for the bends normally.

That's a Forrest Lee Jr. bender in there.

Thanks for the link Jack! Great to get little more insight on the acoustic version.
