Using the provided directions and a YouTube video posted by a customer, I easily installed this device on my Custom shop Telecaster. It works really well and appears to have added additional resonance and sustain. It’s a real game changer for me.

The construction of both the bridge and benders are so solid, and installation could not have been easier or more intuitive. David has been so responsive and helpful whenever I had any question. Could not have been a better experience!

I ordered the Certano Benders for my Gretsch 5700 lap steel. Order came faster than expected, which is always a nice surprise. Packaging was great. All parts, including the installation template, were there. Installation was very easy, and turned out perfect! I would highly recommend Certano.

A quality product to enhance an instruments playability and sound. Wonderfully quick turn around time from ease of ordering to receipt of the product. Installation made quick and easy with all included parts, templates and instructions. Will definitely be a returning customer and will be highly recommending to others.

Fantastic device and really well made. Simple to understand and easy to setup. Placed it on a Recording King lap steel then adjusted it to bend a whole step on each string. Tuning of the string changes when different gauges are experimented with. Because I’m using it to mimic a pedal steel the technique is challenging and the learning curve requires elbow grease . All said and done it’s a really cool device.

Excellent product. Any lap steel player using Open D or E will be happy with the addition. Fitting was (relatively) trouble-free on an SX (basic) BLK lap steel model with bridge/stop-tail change prior to placement. Nice!

It was so nice to be able to get it delivered quickly It worked well. It is a product that transcends the limits of lap steel without a bender. There may be a strange interpretation because it is a translation of Korean

Just installed the benders and roller Bridge on my SX Lap Steel! Fairly straight forward and not difficult process. I did change out the bender screws. On one I went up 1 size and a 1/4inch longer and the other that ends up in the center of the leg bracket I went 2 sizes larger and 1/4 shorter than the screws supplied. Reinstalled the leg bracket with out the screw causing any issues with the way it fit. Very satisfied. Now if I can just find a decent stand for my double lap steel I'll be playing in G, C6, and E13 tuning.

I saw the Dusenberg Lap Steel on YouTube and loved the sound but not the $3000 price. After a little research I found the Certano benders and I already owned a Peavey PowerSlide. I emailed Certano and they told me exactly which parts to order and assured me they would fit my lap steel. I was surprised they were delivered to the US in about 3 days. I followed the instructions to replace my bridge with the new roller bridge and benders. It was easy to do. The Certano benders and roller bridge are excellent quality. They work perfectly and are easy to tune. I expect to get a long life out of the Certano benders on this guitar. I am very happy with this purchase and it saved me well over $2500

I received installed and played without a hitch until one of the springs became this jointed, which, according to David is a puzzling and very rare occurrence(Murphy’s Law for me!) So I contacted David and he promptly sent me two replacement springs which makes it all better now I loved it then and I love it even more and more every day…😎👍👌

I love the benders and bridge! Great quality, they look ace and the effect on my new lapsteel adds a whole new dimension to my playing. Well worth the money! The passage to Australia was a bit worrying though. No communication whatsoever from the freight company, no waybill, no tracking number, no notification of arrival, no failed delivery notice, no notice that they were sitting it the local post office. I didn't even know who the freight company was until I emailed David, who gave me the info and I chased them down. So in summary, 5+ stars for the benders, 1 star for the freight company. Regards, John

Excellent well manufactured product. Prompt service from David Certano. The only reason I didn’t give five stars was the price was shown in $ dollars, it didn’t state US $ dollars, so I had a bit of a shock with the conversion rate to Australian dollars! I mentioned it to David and he is going to state US dollars in future communications.

Excellent Musical Instrument as defined by MR. Certano. Very pleased with my purchase and I expect many years of enjoyment with the C.L.1 Lap Steel. Correspondence by E-Mail was responsive and assuring. Arrived in excellent condition and the tone bar, Gig Bag and personal name tag was a plus. Thanks, Southeast Texas, USA
