Default Rolling Bender plus Hipshot B-Bender



In case anyone is crazy or curious enough, this can be combined. The Rolling Bender stock screw wasn't long enough and they had to send a longer screw. I wanted to operate both benders independently.

Rolling Bender
Pro: Light, easy to install. Can be installed on most Strat and Tele style bridge. They offer individual saddles and traditional Tele saddles. Not particularly expensive.
Con: Picking hand needs to move to use it and it's a little harder to do gradual bends. The latter might improve with technique over time. I wish they offered angled levers or something that would allow 2 Rolling Benders independently.

Hipshot B Bender
Pro: Just tug on the strap and no need to move either hand. Very good for gradual bends.
Con: Requires extensive surgery. Extremely heavy. Limited to the Tele shape.

I might look at the Duesenberg multi-bender at some point.
