1 more fret would be nice....

We got these Pink Floyd cover shows this weekend. Got out my 62RI relic'd Strat that I have had for 6 or 7 years, dusted it off, restrung. Running through some of the stuff and ran into a brick wall with the tail end of the last lead to "Money". I have some fat ass finger tips and damn I can't make that bend off the last fret for shit..... :doh:

Harmonizer/P-Shifter... So what if it's cheating.

Wait, stupid question but you are pulling back on the trem as well as bending, yes? My limited knowledge with the strat, I do remember there was some give when bending it backwards - not enough to give it a proper step up, but if you're bending this string and still off by a semitone or maybe two, hold that trem back too.

I bought this one before prices at the Fender Custom shop got too proud of themselves. I believe I paid $2800 in 2005.
