That's it I remember you telling me this - a "real" Fender ?
No, not a real Fender. He sent me a Tradition Jerry Reid signature with Parsons/White b-bender.
I never heard of this brand but let me tell you it is every bit as good as any Fender i ever played.
and this thing is only like $250 orso.Now you made me really enthousiastic
, you know i like to mod guitars and what i did with that Tradition is i took out the b-bender unit to install it in my old Squier Tele that was already modded all the way.It was a scary mod because i never used a router and i desided to not use a mal.
That guitar, as you can see was already butchered but it turned out ok and the bender works fantastic.
Other mods i did to that guitar are conversion to stringthrough, brass saddles, schaller tuners, cut a new pickguard so i could wire it like an Esquire, bone nut (i took the bone material from the thing a deer has on his head. Now, i realize this sounds really really stupid but i don't know the name
It's this guitar(ok to post?) Actually good to see because it shows the principle of a bender.

Antler.
Right! thank you for that info, never heard of that word.
My brother found this antler in the field where he was working for a seismographic company.
I just cut a piece out and made a nut from it. Sanding this stuff smells terrible
but it works great.It was just a little experiment, a piece of bone blank is not expensive but i was curious if it would work.
To be honest i think the kind of material is not so important, it's how it is cut that matters. A bone nut that is cut not very good will suck.
