Im building a esquire tele and am gonna install a G bender on it
I own a tele with a forrest lee
And another with a glaser
Imo the glaser is amazing
So much adjustability and quiet as heck

The forrest lee is not bad but i cant adjust tension and it squeaks pretty bad

Now im looking at a B&W bender as it looks like a best of both worlds

My question is how does it compare in quality to the Glaser Bender

I have one of both. I like them both but for different reasons. I probably prefer the "feel" of the Glaser more, and the convenience of being able to change between B and G bending is great. However, the saddle on the glaser for the B and G is one piece, rather than an individual piece, and some may not like that for intonation purposes (but if you're using to using barrels then it's probably not a big deal). The B&W works great and retains the original saddle but it's a little more "spongey" comparatively. Both work perfectly well, hold in tune, require very little upkeep etc.
