Strat and Tele necks bend watch a Stevie Ray Vaughn live concert he bends the neck on his strat alot. You get a slight "wammy" effect by doing it. When you purchase a Guitar from anywhere you should de-string it and take a screwdriver and some hex wrenches to it to make sure everything on it is tight. As far as breaking a neck in half that is ALMOST!! completely impossible on a "Fender" there is a Tention bar that run through the neck so you can adjust the bend of the neck and it METAL!!! again with the Stevie Ray reference if you watch the early Austin City limits performance of his he bent the neck proped the Strat against a amp and stood on the horns of the body

I think you'll be ok dude bend away.

Check out Stevie Ray in a video called "Live at the El Macombo"  from Toronto Canada. Talk about your neck bending. Looks like his strat is gonna break.

Hey South Paw, Hubert Sumlin and James Cotton really did it for me. Cotton's three piece came on and did some old blues standards like B.B. King's "How Blue Can You Get" and
Leadbelly's 'Rock Island Line"  Then the man himself came
out, James Cotton, and sat in his chair and blew some great harmonica tunes. He is as big as Humpty Dumpty and his harp playing even bigger. They played for an hour and then invited mister guitar himself  Hubert Sumlin and the crowd went wild. Sumlin played for about an hour and a half and the next day played another set. I was truly in heaven to see such great blues men. At the camp site for two nites we played guitars and blew harp till the sun came up . I've blown
harp for some thirty years and stiill consider myself an ameture still, but people were impressed I think, every  time I
put my harp in my pocket they wanted it back so I obliged them. We had such a good time that I already ordered tickets for next year.  Bonnie Rait is a master at slide guitar and did not dissapoint anybody. It's great to meet new people at
these festivals and see others play guitars around campfires.

Somebody help me cause I just can"t get enough of these blues.
Work today was rough.

Yes she did sing your song on her third encore. What a truly amazing weekend of blues. Some of the bands that played at
the three day concert included, James Cotton,Walter Trout,Can-
adian guitarists Davic Wilcox and Dave Gogo, The Jump Up Blues
Band, Garret Mason Band {Dutch Mason's son}, Charlie Acourt,
Shirley Jackson,Thom Swift,Morgan Davis,Theresa Melafont and the George Street Blues Project. A young 17 year old, Jimmy
Bowskill whooed the crowd both friday and saturdaywith his old style blues . Blues ledgend Hubert Sumlin played with James cotton and was a real hi-lite for me. Old Doll she did your song
'I Can't Make You Love Me" the only song where she didn't have a guitar on her hip. I made sure Gem and I were right up front to
see the blues first hand. It was well worth the thousand dollars we spent in four days. We've already decided we are going again next year. Well now back to work yuk  but someone has to do it.

with a good fill of blues, Take Care.. Badeye  cool
