Seeing as how they make just about every type of guitar under the sun, just wondering if they made any B-Benders?
Is there such thing as a Tokai B-Bender?

I believe so. I had an article somewhere that mentioned B-Benders specifically. I'll take time this week and re-organize the site it appears to be a little scattered right now.

Hi !
There definitly exist original Tokai B-bender teles ! Norwegian guitarist Oystein Sunde has used a red one for years. I also happen to know a guy who has a blonde one, but that one is heavily modified, with a Fender neck, pickguard from an old Buck Owens record, a thousand autographs etc...
I was on the hunt for a B-bender equipped tele for years, but no Tokai showed up for sale. I could have got the fender am.std. thing, but I got one home for repairs once, and I did not like their new "parsons/green" design. All custom alternatives was too expencive.
I ended up buying a used lathe, and welding equipment, and made my own two years ago. It has been my main guitar until the last month when I decided I needed a Les Paul. I got myself a Love Rock the other day, and after playing a lot I suddenly got the idea for this great lick.... But hey there was no B-bender there.... :lol:
Good luck/ Happy seeking
