Hipshot/Parsons/Green B-Bender route for Tele bodies

[rubendlr]

This seems like it really should be an option already.  It's one of the most historically and musically important hardware options associated with the Telecaster.

Seems like a no brainer to me.

I agree as to the importance of the b-bender mod in the history of music. 


But as a commercial proposition... well, consider Warmoth has to consider return on the investment required to program, QC, and market the B-bender rout, rather than any kind of judgment as to the musical merit of the b-bender doohickey. CNC programming ain't free and getting it right requires multiple iterations of QC, and any extra time a body stays on the CNC table is time some other, simpler body is not being cut.  It seems likely that the additional number of units Warmoth could move by adding a b-bender rout to the array of options is not estimated to be sufficient to recover the investment in a reasonable time.


Just my opinion, and worth every penny you paid for it.

As the owner of several warmoth b-bender guitars, I just have two things to say:

1 - I've only ever met another warmothian who wanted one - and that's you!  ccasion14:
2 - It's not so bad to  do it yourself.  At least it shows that you've got some large stones.  :headbang:

oh - and I'm selling a warmoth b-bender routed tele body, complete with parsons/green bender.  And it's finished in the classic and very rare warmoth 8-ball paint job. 

Want it?

I would not mind a B-bender body if Warmoth were to offer one.
