The 4-servo telecaster

[jubal81]

Saw this on Reddit and it's just outstanding how he made his own pedal-controlled, 4-servo bending telecaster.

Here's a link to the build photos

Probably the coolest thing that i've seen in a long time.

Consider my faith in the human race restored.

Wooot!!!

That's cool in a lot of ways. It has its own sound. Different than a mechanical bender. The guy is no slouch of a player either.

Yeah, I've watched it a few times. I could sit and listen to him do that for hours.

Awesomeness.

That is most impressive all round. Fabulous stuff!

Now, a six string version...?

uke version?

Took me a second to place the first tune: Polka Dots and Moonbeams. Part of a tradition of sophisticated country tele pickers. Great stuff, and thanks for sharing that!

Love it!! People really have crazy ideas

Brilliant. Bloody amazing what inventors come up with. Partner it with great musicality and you've got something magical.

Now, let's figure out how he did it so we can see if we can do it too!

Very impressive, Now imagine if this could be wireless

I love this. I always wanted a B bender, but this is so much cooler.   Even a one or two servo version would be great. This would make a great commercial product - probably beyond the abilities of most DIYers  as it requires multiple skill sets.  Electronics, programming and mechanics.

I have a box full of servo and programmable controllers, mounting brackets... from my Nitro R/C days... that is something really cool to think about.
