Just bought chambered ash tele body and maple neck with a rosewood board from warmoth this week. Fralin hot tele set and some vintage hardware. To round it out. Once I get it built it’s going straight Glaser. Been wanting to do this for years. So fired up to have a bender. Ask Zac had a great vid on his trip to Glaser as well.

Both my guitars have double benders, Joe installing the one in my hardtail tele and Aaron did my Crook tele. Since Jimmy O is my Favorite player, it was a dream come true to go through this process as you did. Joe and everyone at the shop are just the best. Awesome stuff Robert, thank you.

My main tele is a bender. I hope that one day they’ll be as common as hardtail strats. The dream is for warmoth to add it to their standard body options. Or fender doing a regular Nashville series with a bender.

@grantdavid9466 9 ай бұрын

@@MrYatesj1That’s why I made mine. I got the body (mahogany) from Warmoth and settled on fiesta red after doing a couple different finishes. I put in a blender mod and I made a mount for a telecaster bridge pick up so I can get authentic tele tones. The neck is a maple Am Pro II Strat neck. Definitely my favorite of my two Strats that I built, the lightest too at a mere 6.5lbs.

@TheRealcdawg22 8 ай бұрын

@@Ottophil I have one! I think it is a 2007, not completely sure. It is ash, I believe, natural finish, Maple neck & fretboard. It has a white S/S/S pickguard with a Duncan Little '59 in the bridge and stock single coils in the middle and neck. It is all stock except for the bridge pickup and a set of Dunlop Straplocks (all of my guitars get them). I have an additional black H/S/S pickguard with a full-size humbucker and some custom switching that I can substitute from time to time. I am really a Les Paul Double Cut guy, but at least one good Strat is imperative for any guitarists arsenal. I love this one!

Aaron put a bender in my Tele yesterday thanks to you! I've been thinking about it for a while, but finally decided to take the plunge after seeing you do it. I'm a fellow 70s/80s rock guy, just down the road in Knoxville. I married a Tennessee girl, so I guess the country influence is finally starting to soak in, haha. Funnily enough, we were killing time at Carter's during the install and you walked in right as we were leaving to pick up the guitar. I was going to say hi, but you turned and started talking to someone else, so I didn't want to interrupt. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration and great video. I didn't get a chance to meet Joe, but Aaron couldn't have been nicer. I called the day before showing up and he still made time to do the install in just a few hours, and then gave me a full tour of the shop when I picked it up. This thing is a blast to play! Highly recommended for any Tele lover!

Check out "Diamond Rio" My favorite band for guitar work and vocals. Jimmy Olander is probably one of if not the best live guitarist I've heard. When I heard them every song they played was as perfect as the album. Super tight ! You should get both B & G Bender and try some of his licks !!! He is a MONSTER Guitarist ! I think rockers would even be jaw dropped.

I've wanted to send my Tele to Glaser for a b bender. The $600 cost is totaly worth it, but all the shipping costs keep me from pulling the trigger. He wants you to ship your guitar in its case which can get expensive, round trip. But I'll eventually do it, I'm sure. It is definitely THE bender to get imo. Have fun with yours, Robert!

11:00 - "I just didn't want to lose all that wood" ? Tell me how losing a third of the wood in the neck joint is better than losing any amount of wood in the body - that's where all of the vibration transfer is happening? Isn't that what all the arguments about "tonewood" and "resonance" start? (if you are into that discussion) Don't get me wrong - I think Glaser's design is genius - especially the quick change feature for converting B to G.
