Wonder if I could:
1. Drill a hole in the back of bridgeplate at the G string (would be next to the B hole) so the G string could go through the bottom surface of the bridge.
2. Imbed a small, rounded and smooth metal spindle (post) into the wood of the guitar mid-way between the round hole where the string comes through the top of the guitar and the hole in the bridge below the G string.
3. String the B string in the bridge as a normal B string would be on a regular guitar (not through the bender mechanism
4. Run the G string through the bender mechanism, divert the string around the spindle mechanism and up into the new hole in the bridge.
5. Replace the G saddle h the B saddle which has the open end. B string now uses the G string saddle.
Now, when I engage the bender it should pull the G. right? It would be puling it around the spindle but I think it would it pull clean?
this way I could always go back to the B bender setup by exchaning out the saddles again and not going around the spindle.
Anyone ever done this? I am sure someone must have.
