The bender is primarily designed to be a back loader and can be set up as such with either the included modern saddles (graphtech string saver classics) or vintage saddles.
Besides replacing the bridge when I acquired it I also redid the wiring as it was a mess. The new configuration is: 5-way switch, 1 volume, 1 tone, neck-on switch with 500k ohm pots.
Cheers,
Scott

Wow, that was unexpected, nice to meet you Scott, it's great to hear from the designer, I was worried I wouldn't be able to find out a lot of things about this guitar. I'll probably be buying your old guitar this evening, I live in Surrey and gig in the Vancouver metal scene with Crown of Talons, we're playing a show at Funky Winkerbeans on the 22nd if you want to stop by and see your old guitar again, I'll probably be using it on stage if it's not in the shop. I love the look of having the bender over the top, especially with the vintage saddles, do you recommend I reinstall it as a back loader or will it function fine on top? Did you install the pickups as well? What are they? I'm having trouble tracking them down online.
