[3] Another early maker and user of the Pull-String was Bob Warford, a friend and Kentucky Colonels bandmate of White's who also played guitar with Linda Ronstadt and The Everly Brothers.
Parsons and White subsequently licensed their design to Dave Evans, who had heard about the device and had been experimenting with his own models.
Parsons and Green revised the design again, and in 1996 Fender began production of the Nashville B-Bender Telecaster incorporating the Parsons/Green StringBender.
Shortly after Clarence White was killed by a drunk driver while loading equipment into his van with his brother Roland after a gig, Richard Bowden, former Linda Ronstadt and Dan Folgelberg guitarist, joined Roger McGuinn's post-Byrds organization and Bowden created his own B-Bender.
Being a Gibson player and with String Benders only available for Telecasters, Bowden created a non-defacing palm pedal that attached to the standard Gibson-style stop-bar tail piece.
Due to manufacturing flaws, Epiphone discontinued production when their patent lease expired after ten years.
Bowden now manufactures his device in his own custom shop and has expanded his designs to also fit on Telecasters, G&L ASAT Tribute Specials, and Stratocasters, as well as many acoustic guitars.
Unlike the Parsons/White model, this type does not require any structural modifications to the guitar body and is simply installed with a few screws.
The Hipshot B-Bender, developed by David Borisoff, also mounts to the tailpiece end of the guitar without requiring any modifications.
The G string pull uses a push-away motion of the neck and depends on a lanyard attached to the player's belt.
Other notable users of Glaser benders include Dan Schafer, Ricky Skaggs, Keith Richards and Mick Taylor.
