Interesting Bender on Ebay (not mine)

Roy's prototype bender?? Pics aren't too good of the bender mechanism, but nothing I've ever seen.

Anyone seen this type of bender before?

That's interesting! But I'm short a few bucks, so I guess I'll have to pass on it!

I don't see Roy using a Bender much

Guitar looks unused Almost

Could be True

I wonder if it was ever recorded (with Roy playing it). Doesn't sound like it -- you'd think that would surely be mentioned in the description.

That looks like a really short throw.

..then the guy in our band says, "Can you put a long throw on my banjo?" ...and I says "NOTHING can throw it far enough!" :lol:
