I can't believe these gadgets work

The dude who makes those drop tuners also makes benders and all kinds of gadgets. I've seen him demonstrate them live, and it is pretty amazing what he can do with all of his gadgets.

That spring reverb could be an interesting addition to other acoustic instruments

Those benders are really cool! Might need to get those!

My very first fuzzbox, close to 60 years ago, involved taping a Canadian nickel to the surface of my acoustic, below the bridge, roughly where volume and tone knobs would go, if it was electric. The nickel had just the right mass, and was hanging loosely, such that it vibrated in sympathy with whatever I was playing.. I suppose it would sound disappointing these days if I tried it again, but it let me play "Satisfaction" for myself, and some of the tunes from "Rubber Soul". I also found I could get a droning sitar sound if I removed the saddle from the bridge. I was first introduced to Palm Pedals by none other than Ted McCarty, the man who people credit with Gibson's golden era and introducing their flagship models. I had stopped for the night in Kalamazoo, during a cross-country drive. I paid a visit to Parson's Street facility where Gibson was shutting down operations. Inquiring about getting a replacement spring for my Bigsby, I was told that Bigsby was just on the other side of the highway, and they'd have one. Hustling over, I was greeted at the door by the esteemed Mr. McCarty, who had left Gibson years earlier to head up BIgsby Industries. He enthusiastically began pulling boxes off the shelf to show me. Among them was a gleaming gold-plated 3-level palm pedal. I had never known such things existed. Left an impression on me, that's for sure. He gave me his business card, which I have framed.

that b and g bender is genius for how simple the install is.

The only downside for those benders is the mechanical noise they make.

I’m baked out of my gourd and I’m going to need an entire hour of you playing that guitar ASAP cuz that tune was bomb as FUCK

4:26 “Here’s how you can incorporate that sound” proceeds to play the most satisfying thing I’ve ever heard

The fingerstyle guitarist Adrian Legg uses those drop tuners on multiple (if not every) string. He will drop and raise tunings several times during a song, and the effect is beautiful

The spring thing is hilarious to me given that anyone with a floyd rose bridge typically wants to get rid of the noise from the springs. It's genuinely hilarious that someone would want to add it to a guitar that doesn't have that problem lol

If anyone has a top loading telecaster, you can make a DIY bender by drilling and bending the handle of a tea spoon. If you’re handy with a drill and a grinder, you can make it swivel so it doesn’t get in the way of regular playing. Jank but it works.

I think you should advertise a sale that gives everybody $0.01 off their purchase.

About the reverb, a company named Aspri was selling the same kind of thing for about 35$. Worked perfectly, and I still have it

I really like these kinds of videos. Having now seen this, there's probably nothing here I would want to actually get, which is good to know.

Pays the bills timer... 😂 id wait every time if i saw that phrase. 🙏

I love the bender units and the drop tuning switch!

I love your commitment to using all the gadgets together. Your compositions sound really great!

You can get the aquaspacer effect by playing guitar on a sofa (if it has springs). Resting the guitar body against the frame will transfer the vibrations through the sofa until they hit the springs.

One of my favorite guitar players (Robbie McIntosh) mounted a dual bender on his Dusenberg and he played it on a demo video for the Jackson Ampworks Britain 2.0…..my word it sounded so good! Jimmy Olander (another fave) uses two benders on his electrics. His style of playing is out of this world. Go, look them up and listen for yourselves!

Holy cow, I want all of those.
