Re-LapZ B-Bender Kit (Original) - get pedal steel guitar sounds!

Get the classic B-Bender sound on guitars that have top-loading Hard Tail bridges.  No drilling required.  Easy installation.  Each unit allows players to pull a note one full step up, just like the pedals of a steel guitar. These are designed to work with standard top-loading bridges, where the string feeds through a hole in the back plate of the bridge, with the saddle mounting screw above it, as opposed to bottom-loading bridges which expect the strings to be fed up through the instrument body.

We offer the Re-Lapz in three packages:  

• B-Bender (single bender and rolling saddle)
• Dual Bender (two benders and rolling saddles) 
• Triple Bender (three benders and rolling saddles)

Each unit comes with full instructions and allen wrench for adjusting saddle height. This is the original style of the B-Bender invented by Dana Valley, which consists of two lever parts joined together by a set screw.

Cigar box guitarists who play instruments with top-loading C. B. Gitty Hard Tail bridges can easily add one, two or even three Re-Lapz units.

These single-string bending units were invented and assembled by the late Dana Valley. Before his passing, Dana sold the patent and shared his vision with us here at C. B. Gitty. In honor of his memory, each bender set is made here in the USA. Each part is laser cut to spec from stainless steel sheet here in the United States, and then we custom milled, tapped and shaped them here in the C. B. Gitty workshop.
