tuned down a whole step, so it's actually an "A bender". My main Tele has a P/W bender but the HipShot P/G bender works every bit as good as the P/W and is actually more quiet.

Another good point of it is this... My P/W bender is a little stiffer action than the P/G but for some reason it engages on it's own easier. Example: If I stood with my P/W guitar on without touching it and did a little hop, the P/G bender would engage a little. The P/G guitar has easier action but if I did the same test it wouldn't engage. I'm not sure why, maybe just a different pulling hub or something.

Also, I had mine installed by Brian Friend in California who did an outstanding job on it.........JH in Va.
