ChordBender
People don't really get this until they hear what we're talking about – so please click on the Sound Gallery first to hear some chords bent with studio-quality accuracy by a whammy (that's not a slide). A ChordBender is going to take your playing to a higher level and make you stand out from other guitarists. A ChordBender whammy can bend all chords and can be set to do a beautiful glissando (slide-like) chord progression from A minor to G major (even if you use nonstandard tuning).
You can automatically bend chords or individual notes down exactly and predictably one half-step using the built-in "half-step stop" - when you want. That's new! It also bends chords up - while many whammies only bend down. The whammy has a much lighter touch which makes it a lot easier to operate. A ChordBender -equipped guitar is also much easier to tune, it is like having two guitars since it can instantly act like a non-whammied guitar, and goes into a guitar case without disassembly (most others won't). Physics fact : the fat E string changes pitch almost 4 times as quickly as the thin E & the whammies you see in stores do not adjust for that.
