I think every guitar should come with a B Bender. It is out mission at JRs Guitars to install as many B&W B Benders in guitars as we can. Recently we have been selling them so fast I can not even get them on the web site before there sold. This week end however I should be able to add a couple at least for a few days. It cost a lot of money to add a B Bender to a guitar that has already been built. I do not understand why one of the major electric guitar manufactures do not just start putting them in every guitar they make. Some say that every guitar is a little different and that causes problems. It is true that each guitar is different. This is because it is made from wood. But with our B Bender the B Bender is adjusted by the installer to fit each individual guitar. Even though we have a Luthier install our B Benders. It would be possible to train a assembly line worker to do it. This is because it can be installed before adding the other parts. If installed at the time of production they could probably do it cheap enough that it would only add $50 to $100 to the price of the guitar. The parts hardly cost anything if made in mass volume. All the parts are made exactly the same for any one style of guitar. The labor would be much cheaper at the time of manufacturing because you would not have to pay a professional to install it for you. And finally some of the cost in installing one is for insurance in case an accident happens and your guitar needs replaced. I think some day you will see a manufacture come out with B Benders as standard feature of their guitars just like all cars now have electric windows. Who knows may be I will start the company... What do you think? Would the increase in price of the guitar be offset by the fact that more people would buy guitars with B Benders?
