Hoi Twan,

Leuk om hier een zuiderbuur te ontmoeten

Indrukwekkende list met EBMM's trouwens.

I don't have photo's of the guitar when it had 2 pu's unfortunately.

Was this the guitar with the 2 MM90's?

No, not that one. Looks great btw!

Mine was this one. Sounded great and for me so much more comfortable to play. You know, that middle pu always got in the way of my picking hand.

I have that problem with a Strat as well. My bender Al for some reason doesn't give me that problem.

I think I'm going senile!!
Yup I am ! You did say that it was your balck one that you converted.

My mate (in his guitar repair shop) has a tele body that is encased (wrapped) in a tooled leather outer layer. It has a b bender fitted and I'd love to take a peek at the workings on that.

 

[passarellee]

Cool! Sounds like a Tele Waylon Jennings would have used. He also had a Tele with a leather coat.

Check it out if you get a chance, b benders are a lot of fun

Thank you very much for this info. I just need to figure out what type of EB to operate on...

 

[passarellee]

Hi John,

Good luck, b-benders are great fun

The Al is offcourse an obvious choise but i'd love an Axis, a Silhouette or a Morse with a bender aswell.

 

[Colin]

cool mods

John - surely an AL !!!!

Wow great Mod to a great Guitar ...i listened/listen to a Lot of Diamond Rio Stuff their guitar player Jimmy Olander is wicked hes a master at the Bender!!

 

[passarellee]

Jimmy Olander is one of the best, great player. I think he's a double bender player too, isn't he?

Albert himself also is a very good bender player, if you have the chance take a listen to Dave Edmunds' 'Sweet little Lisa' for example, great tune with some cool bender stuff by Albert.

^ I wish Albert and Dave Edmunds would do a tour together - it would be awesome!!
