I'm trying to figure out which bender to put on my Tele. I'm thinking the Timara G/B but hear good things about the hipshot. Are there any benders in the Dallas area that have one of these that I could try?
Thanks,
Katherine

I tried several Hipshots and it always seemed awkward. I bought a Timara as a backup for my Parsons Greene. Without ever having played a Timara, I was still VERY impressed with Tim Wallis's videos.

Once I got it I was even more impressed. It was solid, simple, and versatile. It also directly retrofits a vintage bridge.

I don't know of any other B AND G bender for $199.99

If you don't like it I'll bet the classifieds here could move it quickly.
