## Overview

The VRIL-001 Over-The-Top String Bender System is a revolutionary strap-controlled bender designed for musicians seeking seamless installation and robust performance. With no need for drilling or soldering, this system is built from heavy-duty materials and includes all necessary components for retrofitting, making it the perfect upgrade for any guitarist.

## Description

Introducing the Over-The-Top String Bender System, offering all of the benefits of a strap button controlled B-Bender at a fraction of the price and without the painful installation process. The Over-The-Top String Bender brings the string bender mechanism to the surface, installing on top of the guitar with a sleek, durable, beautiful, and unobtrusive design. The System will install on most telecasters with absolutely no modifications to the body of the instrument. No Drilling, No Routing, No special tools of any kind. The Over-The-Top String Bender system is designed to install using existing holes only, taking advantage of standard instruments bridge fixing screw holes and strap button screw holes. Our patent pending design sets itself apart from all other string bender mechanisms with two key innovations: a control cable used to connect the system's levers, and a custom made hollow screw to allow the B string to pass from the saddle through to the systems main lever. Compatible with both vintage and modern style saddles (currently shipping with modern style saddles). Compatible with top and back loading Telecasters (must use vintage style saddles for top loading). All of the system's parts are made of heavy duty chrome plated steel or are machined from solid aluminum. The control cable uses industrial grade braided wire and a sprung, lubricated conduit to maximize durability and smoothness of action. Anyone with a basic knowledge of electric guitars can feel comfortable installing the Over-The-Top String Bender themselves. Completing installation will require your instruments action and intonation to be set. The Over-The-Top String Bender System is by far the least expensive and lowest impact strap button controlled String Bender on the market today. Comparable systems will cost roughly $400 for the component, and another $400 to install.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use this as a G bender, or is it only designed to fit to the B string?**
A: This bender is strictly for a B bender. However, I too was looking for a G bender. I contacted Van Rosa directly and set me up with prototype G bender that is not for sale yet as far as I know. Try contacting them directly, they might be able to set you up with something. Tell 'em Mitch sent ya!! :)

**Q: Can the spring tension be adjusted or does it just have one fixed setting?  What are the throw lengths?**
A: My experience with this unit is limited, as when I was installing it, it quickly became very obvious that the materials and hardware are WAY to weak and cheaply made, and decided to return it before I finished the installation. The actuating arm and base are very thin metal, the cable ends didn’t fit correctly; the screws and nuts are about strong enough for a wristwatch, etc...  I have worked with metal my whole life, so I do know what I’m talking about.

**Q: I only need the strap button. Is there a way I can get it without buying the whole system?**
A: It's just an ordinary strap button. They're available in music stores and online.

**Q: The saddles i received do not resemble the saddles shown on this listing pics. the only ones that does is the b string saddle. why..?**
A: Not sure mine came the same way. I reused my original saddles and the one adjustment screw for the B string and it works fine.
