What do you guys think of the rolled fret board edges on the Eric johnsons and deluxe strats and teles. Ever have trouble popping the little E off when bending? Or,just having trouble landing the Little E without pulling it over the edge. maybe it's just me. I'm doing better than at first when i would try the Albert king little e bends.

My American Series has rolled edges, and occasionally I'll pull the high e off, but I'm getting better. I'm ingraining myself to only bend up on it and to be careful when adding vibrato by hand. I think the improvement in feel is worth it though, to have rolled edges.

The hand rolled edges on the American made fenders. Nice feel, but your on the edge. takes some getting used too. I do most of my bends on the G or D. I want to do some A. King Bends though like Stevie does and stuff. And I play Standard tuning so There are some issues.

I agree. I have trained myself to only bend up.
