  • The new 🐝 Bender™️ series is a string bender product design that can be mounted to your B5, B7, B50, or B70 vibrato front roller.

  • We sell them as complete assemblies already mounted to the vibrato or, if you have your own vibrato, you can buy the 🐝 Bender™️ KIT. 

  • Yes, you can still use the vibrato bar.

  • Before ordering, please note that the B5/B7 kit cannot be used on the B50/B70. The B50/B70 is the unit that says "Licensed" near the Bigsby logo. This unit uses a snap ring to secure the Main String Shaft and requires a special tool to remove that snap ring. If you do not have this tool, we can do the 🐝 Bender installation for you for $20. Please reach out to us via the contact info on this page below. 

  • If you are searching for a no rout/no drill string bending option for your Stoptail G style guitar, check out the new B5 🐝 Adapter Kit below or the new Gilbert Adapter plate on the SteelMaster™️ page. 

  • Two alternate length paddles are provided with the SteelMaster™️.  Before replacing the installed bender lever paddle with a longer or shorter length paddle, please read our SteelMaster™️ FAQs and Installation Instructions you will find by pressing the button above.
