A little demo video, after only a few days of bending -
https://youtu.be/2QJDryfEumcA couple of points -
I love the S1 switching. We wired it like the James Burton Tele, with standard Strat switching on one S1 position, and 4-way Tele + n/m series on the other S1 position.
The S1 switch itself, though, does not exactly inspire mechanical confidence. I expect it will eventually fail, and then I will replace it with a 4pdt rotary and a concentric vol/tone. Not ideal, but reliable.
Bending is a trip. In the video, it's all country-style, but it works in a blues context too.
Love the guitar.
