Matney USA Benders are quickly growing in popularity and reputation. Currently there are around 200 Matney benders in circulation all across the country from California to Texas to Florida... and each one is a satisfied customer! ***Search Matney USA on YouTube or TDPRI for a review of Matney Custom Benders and to see what others have to say about Matney Benders*** This listing is for one B or G Bender installation (parts and labor) in YOUR solid body Fender Telecaster or Tele style body. ***PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME YOUR NECK... ONLY SEND THE BODY*** The guitars pictured are NOT included in this listing. My Benders are hand made and installed in Matney's Music custom shop in Rockwell NC. I've been building and installing high quality String Benders for over 25 years. I stand behind every bender I build. They work smoothly, quietly, and always return to pitch. The bender will not add a lot of weight to your guitar, if any. Usually the weight of the wood removed is about the same as the weight of the unit. I've even done installations where the guitar weighed a little less afterward. It just depends on the density of the wood and how heavy your guitar is to begin with. It has been my experience that the routed cavity doesn't hurt the sound of the guitar. To me it seems to actually improve the overall tone and resonance by acting as a tone chamber making the guitar just a little "sweeter" sounding. Most of my customers say their guitars sound exactly the same after an installation, or if they do notice a change at all, they say their guitars sound more musical and open after installation. In any case, your guitar will retain the original integrity of the classic Tele sound. I've never had a single complaint. You won't be disappointed. Unless you request that I use your original strap buttons, I will upgrade you to Schaller buttons that are compatible with Schaller strap locks (locks not included). If you want to keep your current strap buttons, rather than having me return them, please remove them before sending me your guitar. Please allow approximately one month after I receive your guitar for completion. You have the choice of a B or G bender installation (not both). You also have the choice of a black or a clear back plate. IMPORTANT NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the electronics. Please document for your records any pre existing damage or scratches on your guitar. Please pack your guitar well and insure it before shipping it to me. My shipping address will be provided as soon as payment is received. If you have any special requests for your installation please message me before purchasing to make sure I can accommodate your needs. Thank you and I look forward to doing your bender installation! IMPORTANT NOTE: I ONLY DO BENDER INSTALLATIONS FOR TELECASTER STYLE GUITARS. YOUR GUITAR MUST HAVE A BOLT ON NECK (no set neck Telecasters). IT MUST ALSO HAVE A FLAT BACK. I CANNOT DO THE INSTALLATION ON GUITARS WITH A CONTOURED BACK. THANKS!!!!!
