I modified a Chapman guitar for our friend Rob Scallon. This unique build allows Rob to stretch just a single guitar string to make some beautiful music. I had to figure out the mechanism, the fit, and the adjustability for this custom B Bender guitar. Check out Rob's video:

MUSIC: share.epidemicsound.com/iltms
The concept behind this custom B Bender guitar is to pull the B string mechanically up a full or half step without affecting the other strings. There are a few existing designs to accomplish this, but I felt like a mechanical linkage made out of metal would be the most reliable and consistent. The difficult part of putting these hinged elements together was making sure that all of the mechanism could fit inside the guitar without completely destroying it.
The Chapman guitar we were sent for this project was a Telecaster style, which allowed the strap nut lever to move freely. The tummy scoop on the back presented some challenges when placing the B Bender assembly. I wanted to avoid any contour cut or beveled surface because it would be more difficult to route out the cavity. After making a template of the guitar on a scrap piece of plywood and redesigning the linkage, I had a design that would work.
Using some scrap metal rod and flat bar stock, I cut and drilled slots and pin holes to connect the S-shaped mechanism. The screws that would act as pivot points were also used to connect the assembly to the guitar cavity. To counteract the force of gravity pulling the guitar down, and to reset the guitar upward when the player pulls the B Bender down, I had to strategically place a heavy spring alongside the linkage. Once all of this was working well on the plywood, it was time to carve a hole into that beautiful Chapman guitar.
The B Bender linkage was ready to be installed in the guitar, but I first had to cut into the back in just the right place. To make the cleanest cut I could, I chose to use the router with a guide bushing and a template. To make the template, I took a photo of the plywood mock-up and outlined it's confines. I then took this photo into Adobe Illustrator and traced the outline. Using this vector graphic, I cut a template out of clear acrylic on the Glowforge laser cutter.
Because I was using a router bushing, I had to offset the template by 1/8" so that the bit cut the exact outline I wanted. This method would give us a perfectly matched hole in the back of the guitar. I also didn't want to cover the mechanism, I think it looks awesome, so I decided to cover it with another piece of clear acrylic. This was actually really easy using the laser cutter. My first vector graphic would be the outline of the photo (this will end up being our cover); then the 1/8" offset I mentioned earlier to account for the router bushing; and lastly another 1/8" offset from the previous one so the router could carve a shallow shelf for the acrylic cover to sit on.
I taped the multi-layered template to the back of the guitar and took out each template as I finished that cut. It worked perfectly. Now it was time to place the B Bender mechanism in place and make sure it all worked.
The process of mounting the assembled linkage in place was pretty straightforward...To Read More Go To iliketomakestuff.com/?p=40715...

Before I'd seen this I'd done some *very* cursory reading on the B bender (I think it started with a video with Marty Stewart in it and went from there) and it occurs to me that the Chapman T type, while a great guitar and the right body type at first glance (I also know Rob is a signature artist so it's only natural), made this build a lot harder. A regular Tele is essentially a cutting board with two pickups, so none of the contouring is there, meaning apart from the string placement, there's lot more tolerance. Really cool build though, and the ways you literally got around the issues were really inventive and the video on Rob's channel shows how well it turned out!

I have modified a total of 7 guitars for musician friends. Every single time is a nail biting experience because they know what they want, you know what you can do, and you just hope that you can get the two of those things to meet and not ruin the instrument. Granted, the most expensive one I've modified was only $1k, so it wouldn't have been *that* big of a deal to replace, but still, there's much more to musicianship than just buying an instrument off the shelf and playing.

Bob, I just posted the following comment on Rob Scallon’s video also. Digital solution idea: raise the top-most note by 1.1224555 times its frequency (= 2 x 2^1/12). For example: C = 523.25 Hz, D = 587.33 Hz. The pitch bending and its speed of attack and release could be controlled by a switch activated by a button, a mini-whammy bar, a foot pedal, or even downward pressure on the strap. Analog solution: tug on the B string a precise distance to raise it a whole step by using a spring and levers in a hollowed-out section. Seems like the 2020s could invoke a digital technique. At 0:32 “to make it a B Bender, I have cut a giant hole in the back ….” Maybe not?

Hip Shot sells the Parson-Greene......you can also get them on Ebay. WD Music also sells a version that is similar. These require a large rout cavity and a plate on the back. If you want the coolest one look at B&W Benders on Facebook. He doesn't rout the body, its all done internally but will not sell it as a kit. He does the installation. If you are going to do it yourself I suggest buying a Telecaster body from Eden guitars and do it on that body. They are decently made and not too expensive. I have a Fender USA Nashville B Bender that weighed over 10 pounds new. I bought a paulowania body to reduce weight and replaced the steel plate with 1/8" aluminum. It now weighs about 6 pounds....

Man...you had to redo it so many times. I'm sure that was trying your patience, but it turned out really cool! Also, this had to have been on the Totally Bananas list for a while now.
