NGD string bender content

Post by Kev77 »

This guitar started out as a squier cabronita. I purchased from a guy who worked at the Hastings Rockshop I loved the pickups. So I sold the neck and acquired a all parts V profile. I got the parchment pick guard from ali express.
The bender is a Certano bender for the B & G strings, sold directly from messier Certano himself. Half the price of a Duesenberg bender, and half the space.

My brother from another mother at Solace instruments in Blenheim finished the neck, with a custom CNC logo. He setup he bender and generally brought the mojo.

That looks more substantial than the Duesenberg, interested how it works out. Might drive you down the Pedal Steel rabbit hole like it did me :roll:

I can't get this out of my head. Will be getting one for a lap steel when I can.
