By the same token, you can push too hard on the neck when activating a neck plate mounted g bender and push it flat, like a whammy effect. I've learned to roll the guitar around my waist (beer belly) using my picking hand forearm to activate the g without pushing it flat.

I prefer the the neck plate activated g bender versus the rear pin because pulling back on the neck while playing is not as comfortable for me. I can roll the guitar all in one motion and still be able to move my fretting hand quickly.
