Found this on the tube last night and thought I’d share.
nice rendition of the Beatles, in my life . 
Apparently not for sale but wonder what they paid for it?

    Thanks for sharing.

    I have a Dove Original but a fitted B bender? It wouldn't suit what I do. Great guitars though.

    :)

    The Dove is a good choice for that, since maple for the sides is a strong wood and not prone to splitting. I presume there must be some reinforcement added in the inside of the top around the capstan too, since I think it's just behind the bridgeplate.

    Not going to do it to my one though! :D

    I saw this a while ago and I love it. 

    I'm not going to commission one but I'd love to borrow it!  Maybe I need to reroute my next US trip via Chicago...

    Was kinda hoping you had the jigsaw and chisels out already!

    sounds like they’re happy for people to go and try it. Book that ticket!

    I am going to be in DC and Seattle in June. Just not sure there is a sensible way to stop halfway...!

    Not sure if it's still in production, but anyone wanting to add a B-bender to an acoustic should check out the Higgins Peg Bender.
