Roll Call: How many B-Benders in your collection?

[helle_man]

.

I have around 35 on various guitars. All are Hipshots. What say you?

.

[Lobstapickin]

I got 2....1 of each.

[claudel]

It was a partscaster when I got it.

P/W #11

Once was a '68 Esquire or a '72 Tele, I'm not sure. Both?

Almost all the Fender parts are gone except the body, which is all that's left of the '72 Tele

The '68 Esquire neck had a rosewood neck and was too skinny for me so I sold it and got a USACG

It's had a few sets of pickups, now sporting a Don Mare bridge pickup and a Fender Nocaster neck.

It even has a genuine Vintique bridge, pickguard & knobs.

[Dogbear]

two, with another in the oven....................

[getbent]

uno, with one yet to come.

[asatfan]

sold my Glaser.....only one lonely Hipshot.....gonna put another Hipshot on my other Asat and I will have a PW one of these fine days! Pretty sure I'll never catch up with you though, Will!

Love that Green one Claudel!!!

[bender-freak]

good grief, helle man.....i thought i was obsessed....currently five, one of which is a Shelton bender with added Hipshot, an american stnd nashville tele with P/G b bender and added hipshot for G and A bends, other three teles are Hipshot equipped, also have a Mackenzie system not being used and at least four, if not more Hipshot tailpieces not currently on anything...have been trying desperately to get images posted last couple days, but it has not been happening even with help from some of the guys here...our internet, sattelite TV, and phone service has taken a MAJOR pounding last couple days in this part of Missouri from severe weather...it's all workin' for the moment, but who knows for how long..???..email is iffy, and can't send attachments to anyone right now.....aaarrrrggghh...!!!

[Tim Wallis]

6 that my wife knows about....... another 13 she don't lol.

And of course all of 'em have Timara B&G Stringbenders. What... did ya think I'd have somebody elses benders.. lol?

A lot of my geetars have early versions of my benders. Not really worth any $, but I keep 'em around for sentimental reasons. My daughters are hoping that they'll be worth some real $ once I'm dead...lmao.

There ya go,

Which one is your fav? ( If that's even possible)

I have only one but am thinking and looking around for more.

They're like my children - I can't play favorites. But usually the latest signature model G&L is my favorite, until I get a new one in. Then the new one is.

I move my HipShot and Bigsby Palm Pedal(s) around to different guitars but here's what I currently have in operation..........

'83 Tele Top Loader w/ Parsons/White short to medium throw bender.

Partscaster w/ Parsons/Green bender (The version HipShot sells)

79 Tele w/ HipShot B & G bender

Les Paul Jr. with Bigsby Palm Pedal

Epiphone Casino w/ Bigsby Palm Pedal

I have a couple of Epiphone EZ Benders but they're currently residing in a drawer in my workshop and not in use...........JH in Va.

Ha! Funny!

But keep in mind that I had 2 different signature models with Fender, and 2 with G&L, all which came with factory installed Hipshots as standard equipment. There were experimental ones, prototypes, etc. Plus there were the guitars I put Hipshots on before that. They add up.

[teleman65]

I've got 1 Hipshot on a homebuilt Tele and 1 Epiphone EZ Bender on an Ibanez Les Paul copy

[Buckocaster51]

Well heck, that's something. Got any ideas what guitar she's going on?

[eddiewagner]

i got a hipshot and a duesenberg multibender. both not bolted on guitars. guess i have to find ways to make a little money for a guitar with a strap-activated bender. there is something about the hipshot, that bugs me. it´s such a good concept, but the lever does not look good to me. maybe it´s my problem, but it could look a bit slicker, something like a strat-tremolobar. guess you know what i mean.

[control_67]

Just one at the moment, a Squier Protone thinline tele with a Hipshot B bender with Drop D toggle. I also have plans to build an Esquire or a solid body Tele and get another Hipshot. Also thinking about finding an Epi EZ bender for my Gibson Explorer, it's cheap enough to take a gamble on and the results should be interesting.
