Certano Honky-tonk Special™ B & G Bender Bridge - Metric - 82mm Post Spacing

Some pairings are just meant to be—Jack & Coke, Rhythm & Blues, Country & Western… and now, the Certano Honky-tonk Special™.
  
This inspired combo unites the legendary performance of the Badass® wraparound bridge with David Certano’s precision-engineered B and G bender levers.  Fans of Les Paul® and SG® Juniors and Specials, as well as Melody Maker® models will enjoy improved intonation and sustain, plus an entirely new palette of rootsy slide tones, bluesy bends, and exotic eastern inflections.

The adjustable levers can be set for half-step or whole-step bends, expanding your sonic vocabulary in both standard and alternate tunings. The tension-loaded arms can be set for optimal comfort or swung out of the way entirely when not in use.  Best of all, installation requires no drilling or routing, so your prized instrument can be returned to stock at any time.

More than just hardware, the Honky-tonk Special™ is like smoked brisket, neon dreams, and the long road home all rolled into one.  Simple, soulful, and smooth as Tennessee whiskey, it’s sure to be your new favorite blend of tone and expression.
