HIPSHOT DELUXE B & G STRING BENDER + DROP-D TOGGLE Classic Clarence White-style country and pedal steel licks, without invasive modification to your guitar While a member of the Byrds the late, great Clarence White and Byrds drummer Gene Parsons developed the Parsons/White Stringbender. This unique and innovative strap-activated device was installed inside Telecaster style guitars, and through a series of springs and levers accurately raised the pitch of the B-string by exactly 1 tone, allowing the player to produce convincing pedal steel bends.

Instalation takes a matter of minutes and no modification or special tools are required. The Hipshot mechanism simply attaches to the guitar using the existing strap-button screw-hole.
