Can you really turn almost any Telecaster into a B-Bender Tele? We are testing that potential with the Certano T-Bender. It adds both B-bender and G-bender capabilities in a replacement bridge that is a direct replacement for a standard vintage-style Tele 4-screw bridge. Ryan Burke from 60 Cycle Hum
and Jay Leonard J have lots of fun checking this new bridge out. We test how easy it is to install, how it performs, and even the ability to remove the bridge and return your Telecaster to its original setup.
Get your Certano T-Bender at Sweetwater using this link: sweetwater.sjv.io/LXk4Do or see

Great Job Man 🎸🎶🎸
I ordered one in April and it arrived on Tuesday. Loving it so far, it is incredibly well built, brass compensated saddles intonate really well, and it seems to have added a bit of extra twang to my Nashville Deluxe.
Just need to learn some cool licks now, so I'm off to TheBenderBunker
Great to hear!!
Woooow ...Sick Benders for my Tele 🎸
Watched these 2 guys for years, and also want this thing. Bravo
Thanks !
@@DavidCertano I've been playing for over 30 years... breaking out of a rut, and taking lessons for the first time in my life. I put this on one of my Telecasters, now I am building a second one to loan to my teacher. Never thought I would ever get the concept of lead, much less G/B benders. Thanks for such a great product! I can see so many directions this can take me.
@@gulfcoastguitars2842 Glad you like it Sir!
@@DavidCertano Mr. Certano, just a touch of feedback. First, I love this device. As previously stated, I have put this on two guitars. One for me, and one I am loaning my instructor. What I found is that the thickness of the metal used to construct the bridge is considerably thicker than the original bridge. Due to this and the size of the saddles (barrels?), even when lowered all the way, the action on both the E-strings cannot be brought down below 5/64" ... I added a .5 degree shim to neck pocket of each guitar and have room to bring the action down as needed. Just something to note as other folks may find this useful (maybe?).
Additionally, I did try using some smaller barrels, but the break-angle for the benders was then almost non-existent. I think another option, although I didn't try it would be to grind some brass off the outer edges of the high- and low-E saddles to give them more capability to drop the action. The strings in the middle didn't seem to have this issue, just the outer strings.
Great device... sounds amazing, just presenting some feedback, if you are looking for it.
@@gulfcoastguitars2842 Heard! thank you!
Ce guitariste à l'air "intellectuel" ;)
These guys are being silly, but in reality, they are both very knowledgeable and extremely sharp. They are putting on a show.
