A B-Bender is a guitar accessory that enables a player to fluidly alter the pitch of a guitar's B-string. This works by mechanically bending the B-string through the use of a series of levers and/or pulleys attached to an external lever that is controlled by the player. Originally designed for the Fender Telecaster, B-Benders are now available to fit many solid body electric guitars, and even acoustic guitars.

| - B-Bender est un accessoire de guitare qui permet de tendre de façon mécanique la corde de si pour hausser le son d'un intervalle allant jusqu'à un ton entier (l'équivalent de 2 frettes). Il existe plusieurs conceptions différentes de ce système, mais tous utilisent des leviers ou des poulies à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur du corps de la guitare, qui sont mis en action par une poussée sur le manche, le corps ou le chevalet de l'instrument. Le son résultant évoque celui d'une guitare pedal steel et ajoute une touche country. Conçu au départ pour la Fender Telecaster, le système B-Bender est maintenant disponible sur beaucoup de guitares électrique à corps plein, et même sur des guitares acoustiques. (fr)

| - A B-Bender is a guitar accessory that enables a player to fluidly alter the pitch of a guitar's B-string. This works by mechanically bending the B-string through the use of a series of levers and/or pulleys attached to an external lever that is controlled by the player. There are several different designs, but all use levers or pulleys inside or outside the guitar body that are activated by a pull or push of the guitar neck, body, or bridge. The resulting tone sounds much like a pedal steel guitar and contributes a "country" feeling. The original device, named the "Pull-String" or "StringBender" in various iterations, was designed, built, and installed by musicians Gene Parsons and Clarence White, and as such the device is sometimes called the "Parsons-White B-Bender". Parsons licensed the device for use by several electric guitar manufacturers, but the bulk of the first decade and a half of production was done by Parsons himself, building and installing an estimated 2000 kits before he outsourced the production and installation to other companies. Originally designed for the Fender Telecaster, B-Benders are now available to fit many solid body electric guitars, and even acoustic guitars. (en)
