From SteelMaster:
Wade Black, owner and creator, of 3Bender has designed a new string bender that can be mounted to a JM Offset style guitar vibrato without the need for drilling any new mounting holes, called The Steelmaster™. The idea came from a conversation with Black Bobbin owner Shelby Pollard, a Chicago based industry expert on JM guitars. Pollard wanted a more precise way to bend strings behind the bridge and he imagined using the bender in combination with the JM style vibrato to provide a lap steel or pedal steel type vibrato sound. 3Bender was already bending 3 notes on a unique patented design and Black had been ruminating a similar idea but the suggestion of using a JM completed the vision and The Steelmaster™ was created. The Steelmaster™ can be used on any string to add a smooth and in tune glissando to the music. The bender levers can also be stacked to move chord voicings by bending notes a half or full tone. See it, hear it and get your Steelmaster™ at Fretboard Summit.
