"Great addition to any tele!"

I'll get to the point to start with and this B and G string bender is definitely worth it, works great, and keeps in tune well. I wouldn't say it's a very quick setup though. That's where I would have to say this manufacturer lacks. So, in order to adjust the saddles for intonation you need to disassemble the B and G bender arms with an Allen screw that sits in between them the base... They don't include that specific Allen key. Why? I have no idea. They include all other Allen keys needed and new screws, but whatever not the end of the world. Another thing that kind of annoyed me was there were no instructions for installation, setup, or anything. You get the bender system, tools, and hardware. That's it. Not even a piece of paper with a QR code on it. I ended up finding their YouTube channel and they go over each step in short 1 minute videos. Overall - is it worth it? 100%. It is true that you don't need modify anything and you can definitely revert your tele back to a hard tail if you want. Just don't expect much support from the manufacturer, which is a shame. I mean, at least include a piece of paper that says "Hey go to our YouTube channel for setup and installation" or something. Overall it took me maybe 5 to 10 minutes to install, then another 30ish minutes getting my intonation right and setting up the bender arms so they go to the correct note when pressed down.
