I'm thinking about installing a b-bender on my squier tele. If i got it right, the Hipshot B-bender can be installed very easily. Do you think it's worth installing it on a squier? Is it possible?? Is it easy to uninstall and put it on another guitar if, or when, I buy a better one. And another question: Can anyone give me some advice on good tele pickups? I'm going to make my squier tele an "experiment guitar", and practise some wiring and other things on it, and I'll try to install some new pickups.

Wide Yes it can be installed easily.It can be uninstalled,
easily without dafaceing your guitar.
Yes you can put it on another guitar but i would recemend,
putting it on a tele or a strat.
I think Hipshot also sells a bridge that will work,
better than the old tele bridge for the Hipshot .
I use a hotter bridge pickup made by symour ducan,
that works real good for my tele.
You might check out symour ducan for tele pickups.
I also recemend replaceing your bridge because hipshot,
uses a spring like wire that holds your B string down,
behind the bridge.Useing the hipshot wire dos'nt hold the,
tension down real good.unless you can drill a hole in the,
back of your bridge then bring the b string through the,
hole then over the top of the bridge.
I use my Strat more than my hot-rod tele anymore.
The B string on the tele dos'nt work real well when useing,
alot of bends for blues rock ect,without replaceing the old,
tele bridge.
Hope this helps!
