Which one gets the nod?

I am playing out tonight. I have the choice of my $$$ temporary PRS SE Soapy or a $$$$ 91 Paula Custom. I am gonna go with the PRS! The Paula is killer, but I just can't get used to the way it feels to me!! I want a Paul so bad because they look and sound so good, but I just have never gotten used to em'. I guess I'll always be stuck as a Tele man!! On an off note the only thing my Tele needs now is a neck and some paint.. I can't wait!!

Hey, quick question, what is this big hunk of metal on the back of your tele?

B-Bender backplate. In the Parsons/Green model, which that is, the whole assembly is connected to the plate instead of the body....

What's its function though?

you can pull down on the guitar, and it triggers a mechanism inside the guitar and bends the B string down a whole step to an A I believe...gives the pedal steel illusion
