Totally as advertised!Installed on SX lapsteel really easy to do no luthier required. And the sound turns out to sound quite pedalsteelish.Don't hesitate!!

A solid product that is well-built and well-designed. There must be a better way to line up the bender to the bridge to the ashtray. It certainly feels like you're voiding all warranties when you're grinding the ashtray (if required) to accommodate a channel for the strings to reach the bender and when you're trying to line everything up to predrill the two mounting screws. This isn't a criticism of the bender, but it was my experience. Once installed, it works beautifully and is very easy to adjust. I'm very pleased overall. The Certano is far more attractive, IMHO, than other bender designs. While I see the appeal of a hip or a strap bender in terms of the wiggle-while-you-play expression, the palm bender means you can comfortably play sitting down and without a strap. It also allows for playing on your lap if that's where you wanna go with it. After a few weeks of playing, I am still smiling and loving it. I'd encourage anyone to try one out if you're looking for something new.

I haven’t put it on yet. But as soon as I do, and use it, I will send you my review. So far it looks good. I can’t wait to get it installed, and play around with it.

This plays effortlessly and is a pleasure to play. I ended up loving the pickup more the. I thought. It can be smooth and can growl when I need it. And the best thing… no broken strings. I’ve been playing this for several weeks and not one broken sting. It’s easy to adjust the benders to fit your style. All in all it’s a great lapsteel with some smooth benders Thanks David

I recently purchased the Certano string benders, two lever, and a Recording King lap steel guitar to mount them. The entire purchase, start to finish was the best. Excellent service and support, extremely fast shipping, just a matter of a few days. The product is really well made, very attractive, easy to use, and the install went flawlessly thanks to the great instructions and placement template included. Even the tools included were exactly as needed. I didn't have to search for my own tools or go out and buy those I didn't have. Complete package. I was up and playing within an hour of receiving the package. Well done, Certano. Happy customer.

I received my order, right on time, I'm building the lap steel , still waiting on fret board from another vender. So I haven't installed the Palm bender, or nut, or bridge. But when I do, I'll be sure to let you know how it goes, Thanks (Marty)
