eh...I've never tried one a Hipshot, but I found the regular bender pushing-down-the-neck thing pretty natural.
I wanna be able to bend while picking anywhere I want, too. The kind you posted would only be my first choice if I always played sitting down.

It all ends up what works for you.. I just don't like the size of the "hole" you have to put in the guitar.. and I am use to doing that type of stuff with a floyd so for me I like the palm way.. :idk:

My old man has one. It's fun for about 5 minutes. Then it gets old and repetitive.
They make a tele feel like a boat anchor as well. Maybe it is coincidence, but this one doesn't feel that great either. The neck is just too clunky.
Just my two cents.

I feel like I'd love to have one of these to drop into DADGAD or some variant thereof and go to town with the weird bends and shit.
