Re: OT Multibenders!

I have been thinking about installing one of these. I like open G, if you raise the middle D to an E it gives you a nice minor chord ( a bar slant here strings 5-4-3 gives you a 9th), you can drop the middle G for a 7th, and raising the high B to C is a classic pedal steel tone.

Mark,

I'd be interested in knowing a little more about those too.

I have a spare Tele that would be a good candidate for that kind of thing.

Please share whatever info you find out (if it doesn't get posted to this list).

Thanks!

Ted
