I bought a Hipshot bender from Will Ray (and Gayle) and finally got to put it on last night. For anyone thinking of adding a bender, this is the one. It was easy to install, works great and requires little movement to actuate. The only difficult part was drilling out the back of my 3-saddle Tele bridge. I'm on board! Thank you all for the various posts here that helped me arrive at a great product.

Glad you're happy with it. Don't forget to lube your nut and saddle.

Thanks! For better or worse, I used a bit of Chapstick on the saddle and the string tree. Seems to be returning to pitch just fine. I keep graphite in my nut slots ala the ol' No. 2. The Hipshot feels natural, like it's been there all along.
