jetking with duesenberg/hipshot hybrid doublebender.

eddiewagner · July 5th, 2008, 06:01 AM

hello my dear benderfriends,
this ibanez jetking was gathering some dust and i had to do something about it. so i took off the whole gibsonesque bridge, and mounted a duesenberg multibender with only one lever. with that lever i pull the g-string up half a step. the guitarbody is a bit long so there is enough space to bolt on a hipshot too. which does the usual b-bending. the guitar is tuned to open d and i can produce some serious bottleneck-steelguitar voodoonoise. i have the feeling that this is o far the best monster i created on my trip through benderland.

May I ask where you obtain the duesenberg parts from?

curious, why wouldn't you just skip the dusenberg and put on the hipshot gbender lever?

have to have a longer lever on this guitar and thus would require more movement to activate it. It looks great the way it is and makes more sense...........JH in Va.

the guitar had a gibson-style bridge, that got completely eleimunted by the duesenberg thing. now it has a rollerbridge and i have the good hope, that the strings won´t brake. that doublebender-scenario is really hard to play guys. you can do a lot of things, that don´t make much sense at all.....
