Trying the Peter's G B Bender

Описание: I came to realize, as soon as I got the courage to try playing with a slide, that my school band trombone background was informing my head. The note-bending similarity in melody making is apparent, listening back across years of recording as a guitarist. Wanting to get some of the twangy and sliding Country guitar sounds I heard coming out of car radios in the 1960's and later with bands like the Allman Brothers and classic Blues artists I learned of.
I bit the bullet in August 2022 and bought a B-bending device to have installed on my beloved Tel. I knew that tech Joel Maynard [Musicians Tech Services, Reidsville NC] could do it for me, and looked forward to a steep new learning curve for my right hand.

After studying 6-7 different available bending devices, considering the work required to install them, and the ease-of-integration into my own hybrid picking style, I chose one of the string-benders made in Muncie, Indiana by Shad Peters at his handmade guitar shop there.
His bender, as I explain in the video, seemed to be the best fit, studily made, and the cost was surprisingly low for the entire system purchase + mod-job, coming in altogether at about $250 and change.
Joel also disconnected my neck and center pickups from the tone knob, swung the vol/tone/5-pos around 180 degrees; making pinky volume swells easier and the true tone of my amazing replacement pickups fully *there*.
