You may not be able to acquire this 1965 Gibson Dove with a B-bender-which was installed (in 1995) by none other than the drummer of The Byrds, Gene Parsons, who co-invented the B-bender device. But-if you watch this video-you can get a lesson from CME’s own Nathaniel Murphy on how to use a B-bender, both to explore new sounds and inspire your own musical creativity the next time you happen to get a guitar with a B-bender in your hands!

More about the. B-Bender
The B-Bender was invented in 1968 by musicians Gene Parsons and Clarence White of Nashville West and The Byrds. The device was originally called the Parsons/White Pull-String, later renamed the StringBender, and is now best known as the B-Bender. Early prototypes developed by Parsons (a machinist as well as a drummer) included multiple bending devices for the E, B, G and D strings, but guitarist White decided he preferred a single B string bender in the final design. The B string is bent up a full tone by pulling the guitar neck down. This puts pressure on the strap, which is attached to a spring-loaded lever at the base of the neck. The lever arm passes through the body of the guitar and is connected to the B string behind the bridge. White's 1956 Telecaster with the original Pull-String is now owned and regularly played by Marty Stuart, who bought it from White's widow

Only 1 thin f-hole on all of them, please? And I mean only 1 thin f-hole on all of them and rebuild more than most of them from 4 and a half times more different colours of solid plastic bass guitars and banjo bass?
