1 person I've noticed that's never mentioned on this channel. When it comes to g and b benders is Dan Fogelberg. I've noticed he has a Bender on his acoustic. Not sure which one it is but he used one in the early eighties
Glad you are back!
Zac, you won't remember this, but you showed me Brad Paisley's paisley G bender Tele backstage at the Little Nashville Opry in Nashville, IN in 2003. I had my pink paisley reissue signed by Brad that night. I wanted a g bender but knew I'd never get it into Glaser, so you told me to have Charlie McVay do it, which I did. I still have that guitar and play it everyday. I tell people that story often.
I remember that day and you. So glad you still have that paisley!
Another nice education piece! I installed Certano B & G palm benders on my partscaster, and while I’m not very proficient I love them both. Being able to slide the handles out of the way is a bonus.
About 12 years ago, I built a custom standup steel guitar for Kevin Maul using a Bigsby palm pedal. Mahogany body w/a thru-neck Limba neck & Padouk fretboard, Original Bill Lawrence blade pickup(purchased from Bill personally in '79 @ LSR, his shop outside of Nashville), phase switch, Varitone & no Vol. I ended up adding wood paddle extenders, for easier use
I'd post a pic, but can't figure out how.
Sounds amazing!
The Dead Cowboys, what a super group. That signed poster is awesome, Bet it was a great concert.
Another awesome show, Zac! I have a Bowden Double Bender on my Epiphone Sheraton 2 that is palm actuated. I’ll have to start practicing my G-bender technique more with it. Thank you again for your knowledge! God bless you!!!
I played for years with a guitarist that had a B bender. We always called it a G Throwout since a lot of them attach to the belt and you push the neck out.
4:17-"And then the B Bender was usually attached to a lanyard that attached to your belt loop.."
But what if you weren't wearing pants?
Damn! Better get a garter belt!
The Peters Instruments (Muncie, Indiana) dbl-bender I use is fun, and adjustable so that my hybrid picking is not affected. Had it installed 2 years ago and it's staying on. The G bends a whole step and the B a half step. My fingerpicking style has been hugely propelled forward.
Thanks Zak. Even when I don't ask, you have an answer. Loved this vid. Big fan of Jimmy's and i play a Hipshot and haven't thought about a G bender till today. I see a Glazer in my future...js😀
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day zac 😊 ❤
As always a great show hope that live recording of the Dead Cowboys becomes available in some fashion
Someday I'll get a G Bender in a Tele. It is on my wish list!
Welcome back!
Boomer Castleman is an awesome name.
Zac🎸👍🏻
I have been on the look out for a bender tele... not that common.
It's spendy to have them install one but I can say it's well worth it!
I started on a G bender because I had come up with some licks that I thought would sound better with that configuration. I did flip my Glaser over to the B string one time and was immediately lost, so I switched it right back to G :D. That said, I love Clarence White's playing so I want to get a Tele set up with a Glaser specifically for B bending at some point so I can get some of those sounds as well. Great video!
Thanks for another good video!
My pleasure!
Welcome back Zac. I agree as well, I have a double Glaser and I use the G way more.
I have a B/G Palm Pedal on my telecaster. Cool to see one in this video. I shortened the arms, to your point of getting them out of the way.
Very cool!
Thank for todays show, learned a lot. just wondering how your hands are doing?
Doing better because I am being more careful.
I have a Rollings bender that I've tried in both G and B positions. I wasnt crazy about the lever being behind the saddles. I could never decide if I wanted the G or the B because no matter how I had it set up I wanted the other. I also have a Fendr Nashville b bender that I got a new body and routated all the routing to make a G bender. Same thing.....I couldnt decide. I wanted to use the Rollings on the B bender to have both but it won't work.....the only real advantage of a G bender is bending for a G chord on the second fret....without a bender its a hard bend.
Really want a Glaser bender , but as I type this there is an IV in my hand so Dr's are getting all my $$ wish he took payments 😅
Great Episode Zac!! How would I go about getting info to send out 1 of my guitars? I would love to have one put in my Brad Paisley Esquire. I thought I heard somewhere around 600 plus shipping fee which seems reasonable.

@@AskZac Thank you so much 🎸 🎶 ❤️
Hey Zac have you ever seen or played a timara g and b bender ?
Not yet
@@AskZac Check out @GuitarPickle. My buddy Tim Wallis is the inventor and master of the Timara G and B benders (as well as string drops) and makes all sorts of goofy guitars with all sorts of machinery and inventions on them.
Have you used any of the hipshot benders?
I tried one, and was not grooving with it.
Do you feel like it's hard to go from a B-Bender to a G? I've had my B-Bender since the mid 80's
It's awful. I moved it back to the B
@@AskZac oh my goodness! You might have saved me some dough! Thanks.
DILEMA????
I got ahold of a tele body and neck. The headstock finish had been sanded down so theres no brand or logo or any kind of markings at all. Not sure if previous owner was going for a satin finish or what.
I bought all the electronics and hardware, put it together and it plays and sounds AMAZING!!!
Here's my dilema, since im not a butterscotch fan id like to sand and stain the body a dark color. Would it anger the telecaster Gods if i sanded off a butterscotch finish. (Not knowing the brand), i assume its a Squire, but man it would suck to find out this is some authentic / original high end guitar.
Do what you want
Sounds like the perfect excuse to get another guitar. You know, one with a G bender and one with a B bender. Problem solved! Yay!
Paul McEwen built my b-bender unit that I attached to my guitar.
