Interesting

With all the talk of the Clarence White prototype b bender on Ebay,I was stripping my old 50's tele with a Parsons-White bender#0094. Was surprised to find this dowel plugged hole that strongly resembles the prototype sprocket bender. What do you think?

Interesting...

Thats interesting?????

“Ok, I don’t like to gear my material to the audience but I’d like to make an exception because I was told that there is a convention of plumbers in San Francisco this week – I understand about 30 of them came down to the show tonight – so before I came out I worked-up a joke especially for the plumbers. Those of you who aren’t plumbers probably won’t get this and won’t think it’s funny, but I think those of you who are plumbers will really enjoy this…

“This lawn supervisor was out on a sprinkler maintenance job and he started working on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7″ gangly wrench. Just then, this little apprentice leaned over and said, “You can’t work on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7″ wrench.” Well this infuriated the supervisor, so he went and got Volume 14 of the Kinsley manual, and he reads to him and says, “The Langstrom 7″ wrench can be used with the Findlay sprocket.” Just then, the little apprentice leaned over and said, “It says sprocket not socket!”

There's no way. Look at the difference in diameters of the bearing for the 'Clarence White Prototype' and the diameter of this picture you have. That bearing in the 'prototype' would never fit. That must have been a different idea Gene was tinkering with but decided against.

That hole was there for some reason, and the location isn't random.

What's the provenance of that particular geetar?

he's showing the front view of the guitar and your picture is of the back. They could have different diameters.......JH in Va.
