Fret bender 6 off custom made

What's Hot
JazzthatJazzthat Frets: 163
edited December 2022 in Parts £
Some of you probably remember the post from 2020 , where I had designed and made my own fret bender .

I have now finished them , though due to constant busy times at work and lack of free machines ever since ( and for foreseeable future ) I have not been able to do ' f ' engraving on the main drive wheel
Instead I have polished it up nicely .

For those , that haven't seen the original thread , please see the link below .

https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/190111/fret-wire-bending-jig-updated#latest

As for the price , I'd like to get £150 

They all should be ready to post very soon and only 6 is available and no more will be made ever due to time , cost and complexity of making these .

I might also list them at later date on eBay if no interest on forum .

    It seems odd to talk about a piece of machinery as beautiful, but they are.  I recognise the knobs you use.  I had a couple and a matching metal control plate fitted to my black Tele for a while, and they looked really smart.

    Yeah , I absolutely love machined parts . They add sophistication and quality across the board .
    A while back I had made something, that i could not buy anywhere and it turned out really cool and pleasant to look at .

    These almost make me want to buy one and learn how to do refrets just so I can use it.
