| that's a nice neat application, however, this concept has been worked on for over 30 years and still nobody really cares. of course, phil was a master of it. beyond that, the vince gills of the world have made better music without benders and they're not tied to a box on the floor with a 4 foot cord. |

As a kid (around 11 or 12), I remember a guitar with pedals at the house. This was about 30 years ago. My dad says it was an Epiphone. I had to play it sitting down because it was so heavy!

Hugh, nice work and playing.
Musical innovations often follow technical innovations.
Don't be discouraged. PSGF is loaded with traditionalists who are rarely at a loss for opinions.
Keep up the good work.

'cept it's not Hugh, it's David Evans. Pretty cool though. Looks much more compact than the clunky old MSA mechanism |

Did you look at Tommy Turman's invention in 1960? His was a pedal to a motorcycle cable and making a B Bender. I think he made fewer than two dozen.

Really? I'm guessing you haven't been out to see many live guitar players in the last 10 years…

| Hey Bryan........go read the rules of the Forum about politics and political statements. Chris has the right to to express his opinion just like you do......Given the number of 6 string guitar players in the world, and the number of pedal operated 6 string guitars made, I would say that theres a bit of truth in what Chris says. However, it is an accomplisment to build and play one of those guitars ......... |

It IS an interesting invention and people have done some nice things with them.....But what keeps occurring to me is that a pedal steel guitar does more of those things better,to the point that it gets you further ahead to play one of those than to re-invent the wheel.The whole pedal/six-string mashup puts me in mind of all the folks who have tried since the Thirties to develop automobiles that fly.  |

Here's one from Bigsby;
I almost bought a unit like Phil's from a guy on Ok. several years ago, but I didn't like the Tele it was mounted on, so I passed. I have a Hipshot with the B, and G benders, and three toggles to drop it into Low Bass G tuning. I play the B with the hip lever and play the G lever with my wrist. I can pretty much do all those licks in the OP link. I have a peg bender for the first string to raise it a half step, but I haven't put it on yet. Problems with my left hand. But, ya know, if you barre a C chord at the 4th fret, that's pretty much how a steel is tuned. So my levers and peg bender will give me the three pedals. I bought the Hipshot as sort of a challenging game to play. Used the Kline on stage. Pic with G lever in playing position.
I took the toggles off as I now have two National Acoustic-Electric archtops from the Fifties. One in G tuning and one in D tuning for playing bottleneck. And obviously, the Hipshot is now on my Dano Guitarlin. Hughey land is available!
