So in theory a cable could work.That said, I'm hard-pressed to envision a cable-based design that would work effectively.
Maybe part of it is that most benders I'm aware of (the exception is the Parsons acoustic guitar version) are made to be inserted into channels routed in a solid-body instrument, rather than into a hollow-body instrument.
