Fine looking work Barry.

I'm curious about the notch cut out behind 2 of the roller's. Is that for a couple of string benders?

Thanks, Greg

You are 100% correct Greg the notch allows for the strings from the benders or palm pedals to pass through and not be interfered with as the move.

Thanks to Jeremy King for the installed pics. Jeremy says the fit great and he thinks they improve the tone.
