I played a Fender Tele with a Parsons Greene for 11 yrs as my main guitar.
Along the way, I tried the Hipshot. It was OK I guess, not anything thatI'd buy. I bought a Timara for a spare, much better than the hipshot in its more natural movements to actuate the benders, plus its the cheapest double bender that I know of.
Last year I built a guitar that Bill bures put this Hybrid parsons B / Saddle G bender in. I liked the Parsons but the saddle bender was not so good. Charlie Mcvay modified it for me last week.
I just got my guitar back from Charlie Mcvay. It is INCREDIBLE the difference with the modification he made for me. I aready knew that his quality of his own bender was over the top, but this adds worlds to his stature. I was hugely pleased with his openness to work on a bender oter than his own.
I've played a few Crook guitars with McVay benders, and its the best system on the market. Period.
