Nice build for sure. How did you attach the hub in the upper horn area to the body?


I made a notch all around the body and I glued the rope inside...

I meant the pivot point on the bender mechanism. I made one that had to be screwed into the body but would like to know a better way, as I was lucky not to drill through to the face of the guitar.

Loving the thread, especially since I've been thinking about a b-bender myself.

Funnily enough, just came across this picture tonight:



FUN TIMES!

I must have mumbeled "Holey Crap" 12 times while scrolling through this thread.
Holey Crap! What a COOL guitar! I am completely impressed.

French Country-n-Western music. Who'd a thunk it? Wow.

Haha now I see, the strings are wrapped around the string posts backward. I thought you were calling him backward because he is from France...

Have you done other benders strato51? Do they work well? Nice guitar by the way, if you wrap the strings around the post the opposite way there would be a better straight string pull from the nut but whatever works. Looks great!

Of course now that the string trees are there you may want to just leave it as is, would feel wierd trying to tune it though.
