I’m glad this product is a non-destructive installation. The overall design concept is great, and the machine quality is impressive. The problems for me are (1) the pitch set screws would never stay put and required constant adjustment and (2) there is a noticeable change in tone and tension for the G and B strings. I enjoyed the T bender for 3-4 days, but it just wasn’t a keeper for me. If Certano would use larger pitch screws with finer threads, they should be consistent. There is also room to add a tension roller, like on Bigsby tailpieces, that would fix the string tone and tension. Other players may be totally fine with the T bender, so it’s well worth giving it a try. It’s removable if you decide it’s not for you.
Thanks for sharing! I've been thinking of getting that for my tele. PS. I think it's time to replace those rubber tubes for the pickup, doesn't look like they do much anymore.

@@56grishnak65 you’re right about the rubber tubes they probably have them on allparts.com
Many thanks Michael. Have you any tips on how to keep the G and B stings in tune.
Hi Michael - Great video. Can you explain how do you adjust the intonation. I cant see how to adjust the intonation after installation
@@paulgaughan it’s a very simple to adjust the intonation with the hand tighten screw. Super easy and intuitive.
Does this work on all teles?
Hi there! It should work on all standard teles, but I am unsure about Thin lines. Reach out to @allpartsmusic1971. 🙂
