Reviews Certano

A finely made product that works exactly as advertised. The parts are beautifully machined and they work flawlessly. My only issue on the installation was in drilling the roller bridge holes. It was hard to get them absolutely vertical so I got a tiny amount of "drift" in the bridge placement when everything was screwed tight. So, the strings are not precisely over the pickup screws. No matter, everything seems to sound fine.

***** - my first lapsteel,very pleased with the C.L.2 finish - sounds good as well.

These are a perfect addition to my new Asher lap steel guitar! They were easy to install and easy to set up. I really like the versatility they add to chords and single note runs! Shipping was quick once the notice was sent that they were on the way and everything was well-packed and arrived undamaged. Quality of the Benders indicates they will last a long time I highly recommend the product and the company!

Very good product and easy to get in contact with the maker. The bridge did nit fit on the original holds in my recording king lapsteel so i had to wing it and drill 2 new holds closer to the microphone. But end product ended up good. Also a bit steep to get it through the custom in norway, but that is not the product’s fault.

The lap steel tailpiece is very well made, and fit perfectly on my 1960s-era lap steel. I plan to buy two more for my other lap steel guitars.

Fantastic instrument and service

Excellent communication. Timely delivery. Wonderful product.

With some careful design considerations I was able to use the certain bender to turn my parlour flat-top acoustic into an acoustic b-bender. It works great!

Very good bender, it was delivered very fast, very good quality. Tanks a lot to certano!

The removable magnetic fretboard is a wonderful tool! What a great innovative creation!

I’m very happy with my shopping experience! The shipping was fast, the product was easy to install on my guitar, and it sounds fantastic. Highly recommended!

Benders and roller bridge are perfect for my Gretsch G5700 lap steel. Super easy to install. There are a few youtube videos of others installing. Probably took about an hour and the provided template works great.

Great!

David was great to deal with. He always responded quickly and gave excellent advice. I love his palm benders as well as his roller bridge !

Certano products are fantastic. Very well made and work well

Exceptional product an great service.

Super!

Fast and reliable delivery. High quality product.

Ordering and shipping were fast and easy.

This review is over a year delayed. The bender works with my tightly-spaced Epiphone Elektar. Today, that lap steel has been in over three dozen records I've made since installing it. Currently thinking of getting another for my tele.

Excellent products and fast shipping.

I have been very pleased with every thing . Shipping to U.S., playability with benders is superb, staying on tune is really an improvement over my prior steel. Thanks for my new found 😊 musical instrument David

Very strong and easy to use. Installation fairly simple on Asher Hawaiian Junior.

Reasonable products, not cheap, but totally worth the money. Pretty fast delivery. Friendly contact. All in all: Perfect. 🙂

It was a pleasure dealing with Certano’ and I’ll be again in the future .. I’m also telling others about their products .. 👍🏼👍🏼🎶

I just bought my second one, this one in all black. Well made and work great.

I am more than happy with the items I purchased. A roller nut and a Tele Bender took my dirt cheap lapsteel to a stellar level. Thumbs up.

I have received the order, but haven’t installed due to recent time restraints. However, the order seems to be as advertised, great quality and great looking.

Arrived safe and quick! The instrument came pre set up and with a helpful letter of instruction. This thing looks and sounds amazing, and has been so fun to play!

I just installed my Certano bender onto my Airline Lap steel. I am no luthier but the installation was successful so far. There is a learning curve to mastering the technique but I am hoping to start practicing as soon as my newly ordered practice amp arrives. 😃. I’m not sure if I set the tension properly. It seems a bit stiff but maybe I’ll get used to it?? Looking for some detailed info on you tube. Lots of vids but haven’t been able to find anything regarding hand positioning and stiffness adjustment. Hope to master it soon 👌

Perfect!

I am truly impressed by the exceptional customer service and incredibly fast delivery of the Certano Palm Benders. It’s rare to experience such professionalism and efficiency. The product itself is of outstanding quality, meeting all my expectations perfectly. The included template made installation smooth and precise. Certano deserves the highest recommendations – both for their product and their service. Highly recommended!

Super product, fast delivery, thanks

I was in the hospital when my Certano arrived and upon opening there is no paperwork or Allen wrenches? I would like to have them. As far as the steel goes, I am satisfied x 10! Precision made-solid-quality-tone-scale-looks and everything all beat the pants of any other steel of this type I have played. Duesenberg LOOK OUT!!! Certano has you beat to pieces at a lower price. i wish I could own two of these little marvelous gems. THANK YOU CERTANO. TIME TO RETIRE THE EMMONS. I LOVE IT. 10 STARS. please send me the wrenches and paperwork. THANKS AGAIN AND GOD BLESS YOU. dr. j. santiago calderon retired

Quick service and great product , but there was aproblem with the delivery person who tried to open package to see what was in it and they didn't get a signiture , i would not recomend them , i reported the problem to the company, but i do love the way you package parcel , maybe more packing tape to dicorage

I'm a tele player and have had a Parson White bender for years but I wanted more tools for demoing my own songs so I mounted it to a lap steel , working it out ,quality piece

Wonderful concept, and the design and quality are outstanding!

Amazing benders that play well and look great on my lap steel, emailed David Certano prior to buying and he was really helpful

Worked just fine

Excellent service and really nice kit (Bender and roller bridge) and really straightforward to install. Highly recommended
