Where's the bender? Would you mind taking a couple of in-focus shots of the bridge, and the bender mechanism?
Thanks!

Stephen,Sorry if my pics are not the best in-focus,probably partly my phone(digital cam not working) & definitely my hands are not as steady as they used to be(getting older)...i'm workin double shifts today,opened this a.m./closing tonite & opening 6a.m. tomorrow,so don't really have time to pull the pickguard off to take pics of the rods,pull mechanism,right now,BUT,if you do a search on the Forum or Google Greg Cutshaw,look at his webpage...he has detailed photos of a B&W bender,that's installed in his Tele.The "finger" or "puller"whatever you want to call it is under the b-saddle,beneath the bridge.everything else is pretty much under the pickguard.it does have the upper bout strap pull like a Parsons as opposed to the thru-the neckplate pull like the Glaser,McVay,etc.Return spring tensioner is between bottom strap button & input jack.thanks.THIS GUITAR IS ALSO LISTED AT A LOCAL GUITAR SHOP & i do have some potential buyers so I will go in order of who contacted me first(also who gives a definite "I'll Take It"....Thanks,God Bless,Bob

I googled "B&W Benders", last night. Impressive. I wondered why there was an extra strap button, now I know. The B&W site showed a Dunlop strap lock, and I have Schallers on my electrics. Will the puller take a Schaller button?

I re-tapped the hole in my B&W bender to accept the strap lock. I've got a Fender (Parsons) factory bender, a B&W and a Hipshot bender. All are great and usable. The parsons is the smoothest.
