I thought some of you may enjoy this video where Marty Stuart talks about Clarence White and his string bender Telecaster. https://youtu.be/r8H08Xs_w8A

Ok, that was worth the price of admission. I have 2 teles.... which one should get a bender? While I contemplate, I'll listen to some Byrds!

I've actually been researching the Glaser bender system for a while. Any thoughts on that?

Zac Childs has a very good vid where Joe Glaser puts a bender in his telecaster.

Everytime I sit down and want to learn Bernie Leadon's solo on "Peacful Easy Feeling" I am tempted to send my tele to Joe and have one installed.

Joe's newer style system where the saddle is made so you can change between B and G bender. The one on the Fender Brent Mason sig tele is nice.

Zac on the new style bender.

I saw Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives several years ago. Marty had that guitar absolutely cranked and it was the best sounding Tele/bender I've ever heard - he and "Cousin Kenny" opened with "The Whiskey Ain't Workin'" and never looked back.
