i have completed two guitars so far, both from kits with some of the work done. I want to build my third from scratch and was looking at lmi's bending iron. I really don't trust myself to wire an electronic one and don't want an open flame in the garage. Is this a good bending iron?

Check out an eBay seller taisamlu

Has a couple variants for less than $100(much less)

I've gotten plenty of stuff off him and it's all good quality....

Me neither, I thought he only had inlay materials and bone blanks, which is kinda hard to mess up on...

Sorry boys, I meant to say luthierwood-shop :oops:

I get other stuff from Sam, including tuners and inlay stuff. Luthierwood-shop has quite a few tools as well.
