Glaser Bender Technology

It's the small and unseen things that make the big difference.
Minimally Invasive, Weight Neutral

Under the

Neckplate

There is a small and shallow routed cavity under the neck plate just big enough for the Bender mechanism.

Under the

Bridgeplate

A small opening sits under the bridge surface for the B and/or G Bender Finger. This does not affect the instrument sound.

End View

This 1/2" hole is for the adjustable support tension spring and is capped by a small ferrule and the phillips-head tension adjustment screw.

Neckplate Route

A small, shallow cavity is created under the neckplate for the plate-mounted mechanism. This does not affect the body strength or sound.

Bender Lever Arm

The Bender Arm is free of screws and has no slack or wobble. The arm moves very smoothly and the destination pitch is fine-tuned with the thumbscrew shown.

Neckplate Mechanism

The integrated neckplate and mechanism create great stability. The built-in bearings provide

the smoothest feel, all in a very lightweight unit.

Bridge Area Routing

There is a small non-invasive rout under the bridge plate. This allows the Bender to be moved between a B-pull or G-pull, per preference.

This typically takes 5 minutes.

Bender Saddle - 'B'

Here's a traditional Bridge with the Bender Saddle - a 'B' Finger and an original style non-bending hi e' barrel portion.

This saddle can be flipped to G and automatically intonate.

Bender Saddle - 'G'

Here's a traditional Bridge with the Bender Saddle - a 'G' Finger and an original style non-bending D' barrel portion.

This saddle can be flipped to B and automatically intonate.

Left Handed Option

Benders for left-handed instruments are no problem and are also convertible between 'B' and 'G'. Note the vintage Fender lefty with the bridge corners factory notched so Fender could re-bent it as a lefty.
