Anyone else here play with a B Bender or Palm Bars? Used to have a Parson White on a G&L Tele, but sold it for stupid money back when Fender first introduced their stock installed B Bender Teles. Have since moved to a palm bar on my Les Paul. Doesnt do the clean pedal steel licks as well as my tele PuPs(or my pedal steel for that matter.. LOL!). But it can make some whicked overdriven bends and come pretty close to that old bakersfield sound.
 
I have two benders a 96 P/G Fender, and a Hipshot I use on a MIJ Esquire...
 
you can still get the parsons white stringbender. had a good email conversation with Gene Parsons a few months ago. I did see him and Clarence play three times and we were exchanging emails about that and the bender.
 
Great little tools to have in your tone pallete as long as you dont abuse/overuse em!
 
A B-bender is something I always wanted,but probably will never get. :(
