i just made a small notch for the b string with my dremel...i your b string winds from the left side (clockwise) i think you can do something similar, but if as you said on the phone, it winds from the right side (counter-clockwise) i don't think the G string will clear your hub...maybe someone else has done what you're talking about and will chime in eventually...hope this helps..have a great gig tonight....

You can do it, but you'll need to alter your pull button for the b. or just make a new one.
I'll look around the shop and see if I have an extra one thats been machined.
Is your bender a Parsons White, Bores, homemade, or one of mine?
I'll need to know the depth of the bushing.

Bill Bores bender, has the hub that the B string is run through, it may be in the way for the G string, i was just considering adding the hipshot latter for the G.

I've seen it done a couple of times - on both the G string just barely cleared the hub (the neck angle and corresponding saddle height have and affect on that) but the Hipshot plate didn't - it had to be ground out to make room for the existing hub.
