I was just browsing around on the internet and I came across a page on installing a B Bender in a Tele. I had never seen one before. Does anyone have one in their Tele, and if so, what's it like?

fender used to sell a telecaster with one already installed in it a few years ago.
i would never install one myself. way too much routing. i'd be scared to do it to a telecaster.

I got one 6-7 years ago and its great. Good action, tele-sound with a strat pickup in the middle. This allows Tele or Strat sound.

I see the American Nashville B-Bender Telecaster here, and it's still in the price list. The (retail) cost is about what you'd spend to get a decent Nashville model and then have Gene Parsons install the original B-Bender mechanism (which is different from the factory-installed mechanism, though the latter is co-designed by Parsons).

I also see them for sale at several online stores. However, Guitar Center tells me they're a "discontinued item". Anyone know anything about this? Maybe it's something GC is just not carrying anymore? Or has Fender actually discontinued this model?

TIA
