deluxe bendmaster

Im in search of a deluxe bendmaster I bought my pantera 300 back in 87 and now the G string ball holder broke
does anyone know where I can get one Thanks

Hello you roughneck!! Welcome to you. Bad news first... nobody makes them for replacement.

Keeping an eye peeled to ebay is about your best bet unless someone here has a spare one to sell. I just received a backup today from an ebay auction for $60 including the whammy bar. It will be a spare in the event I need it someday.

I never have seen one alone for sale on Craigslist yet, but often you can find a project Westone or even complete gigging axe with them for a very reasonable amount, as in less than $75.00

Good luck in your hunt.

String claw? that's a Bendmaster FT; the Deluxe strings through the sustain block?? Like Ice I've got about three Deluxes as spares, complete with string locks but the FT does not show up very often. One of the blokes in here had some string claws made by a gunsmith, but the price was quite high....

This might help.

I second Westbones post regarding the Bendmaster FT.

I used the Kahler string claw on my low E string on the Bendmaster FT. You will have to sand it down a bit as the Kahler part is a little too wide. It brought my Bendmaster back from the dead. It is now flawless and the Kahler claw holds the whams as well as George Michael.

Needless to say, this solution is a thousand times easier than replacing this top quality bridge.

But if you do decide to replace it: LINK

hey guys my pantera has a bendmaster ft not a deluxe model thanks for your tips and helpfullness Im new on here and looking for those claws was a nightmare i did see that Westone Nut had some claws made and I hope he gets intouch with me, you guys are awesome Im glad I bought my Pantera way back in 87 thanks everyone

I have a BM Deluxe with the bar and the bridge posts and pins. No locking saddle. I'ts a 9 out of 10 I'd say, but I'm not looking to sell. i am looking for one in black in similar condition for trade.

Or buy the string claw from www.banzaimusic.de for around 2 euros. I am trying to find the direct link but am very busy atm...

Ah here is the direct link: http://www.banzaimusic.com/Kahler-9407-X.html

Again, you will have to sand down the sides a little bit (medium grit sandpaper works just fine).
