If you want to listen to something to aspire to, take a listen to telesavant's stuff. Quite amazing player, that one.

telesavant is EXACtly who popped into my mind when i saw/read that graph....i really doubt anyone has/will hit the absolute limit with bending; too many different options available, too many different styles/approaches...the hack that i consider myself to be, i have four different bending systems in addition to my fav, the Hipshot..they all do different things and require a somewhat different technique from each other....
back to the original topic, to me NOT having a bender on a tele, les paul, 335, strat; whatever would be like trying to play with only 4 or 5 strings..."bending" is part of what i do and enjoy....
