3BENDER FAQ

A 3Bender bends 3 strings simultaneously and accurately: the B string to C#, the G string to G# and the A string to B. But more impressively, it bends a big E chord to an A chord or a small F chord to Bb.

Our newest design features the ability to turn On/Off the G stringbender lever. You can now play all of your favorite B bender licks with or without the G stringbender bending at the same time.

Great idea! We love pedal steel guitars and pedal steel players. They bring us joy.

Usually around $4500 with standard specs. Standard specs includes a lightweight ash T’style body with aged closet clean finishing in nitrocellulose lacquer, 25.5” scale maple neck with 6105 frets and 9.5” radius, Fender vintage-style locking tuners, staggered pole pickups, Mastery bridge, Hyperion Tone Solder-Free Harnesses, premium hardware, and a Monocase sleeve. A custom spec’d guitar may be more.

We prefer Mastery bridges, Hyperion Tone solderless controls, premium hardware and Mono guitar cases.

T-style guitars were originally designed to be modular. This is a feature that improves that goal. The Hyperion Tone Solder-Free harnesses allow the guitar player to easily try new pickups without creating a potential solder mess and/or devaluing their guitar because the solder joints aren’t professionally done or original.

Leo Fender, Paul Bigsby, Bob Stafford, and Gene Parsons, of course. But also Les Paul, John D’Angelico, Rick Kelly, Michihiro Matsuda, John Woodland, and Bill Collings.

We prefer to build a guitar for you with the 3Bender hardware installed.

Sure. Custom guitars are fun. As long as the 3Bender will fit and function properly, we can accommodate your custom specs. Please see our custom guitar section for items that you can customize. If you have a special requests that is not listed, please reach out to us. We love to talk about guitars.

Yes, once we settle on specs. We typically require a 50% deposit, but this may vary depending on specs.

Doubtful, it may keep you awake trying to find new chord inversions and/or new voicings.

I am the only person building guitars....but my wife and oldest daughter are integral to the 3Bender business also. As you might expect, there is a lot more to the biz than just building guitars, and I am so thankful for my family. Also, you might hear from Barry. He’s a friend that has been around since the 3Bender was only a few (much different) machined parts and a crazy idea. His engineering/manufacturing skills and insights have been invaluable.
