Basically a project chinese import donor guitar with a bunch of mods and upgrades. Guitar body is palownia, maple neck, with stock electronics and hardware. Wrinkles are the film cover on the pickguard that I never removed.

Neck feels good, surprisingly good fret work for an import...no sprouts, decent set up and action with 9s.

Bigsby F logo vibrato, complete unit. Includes original handle, bridge, plate, all parts w/original box and papers.

Vibramate TEV F bigsby mounting plate/ashtray bridge with threaded saddles.

Alday BBlender string bender. Set for B bending but complete with G adapter included. Sideways pull with a pinky bends a B or G string while maintaining the Bigsby vibrato function. Simple bolt on replacement for original handle. No mods to guitar.

Zero Glide fret nut.

Includes nice matching strap and gig bag.

I'm pretty sure I have all the packaging and papers for the BBlender and Vibramate too as I'm the original owner of those devices.

Fun little axe. Sounds fine...lots of volume, good range of pickup tones.

Sales to forum members only in conus. Regional meet up or pick up always gets priority and preferred.

I'm basically giving you the guitar and pricing it according to the upgraded parts. The cost of the parts alone, some which are rare or unavailable.

I just need to sell to cover some unexpected expenses that hit hard in the last couple weeks, else I would keep it.

Money orders as payment, no paypal. PMs for contact please.

Hey Jerry. I stay on top of stuff like this pretty close and have never seen the Alday string blender. Pretty cool. Thanks. RP

Yeah, pretty cool. Works really well. Nice to have the trem bar and the b bender both.

I believe the Jim Alday B-Blender is out of production now though.

We had a discussion about this a few weeks back. More info here if you're interested: https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=397208&sid=df2b52b827f717467ccf29802f5ac1fa.

I threw a bunch of add-ons and mods at this little guitar. Had a D drop on it at one time, may still have it. I've had my fun with it.
I found an Alvarez Nashville T style guitar that I love so just keeping that one pretty much stock. No heavy mods like on this one.
