Mike Bender made the best playing sneaky pete ever made. Problem is, he only made 12 of them in the mid 90's. Anybody who knew anything and played one said it was the best, better than Scruggs, Harris, anybody. Very rare. He made a very few new ones last year on a special consignment and I'm sure they played just as good as the old ones. I was lucky enough to see one for sale a few years ago and grabbed it, and was lucky enough to have had David Paul Kersenbrock make a shaft for it. Amazing player.
EDIT: I just noticed that Martin (Jazznpool) is selling the last new Bender sneaky (wrapless) in the Wanted/For Sale forum. It is Afzelia into Birdseye, blank made by John Davis, and is gorgeous. Thread is bumped from a few months ago, and this is a great opportunity for somebody.
