Illustrations

I've located the patent drawings for the mechanism of several models and will post them soon. Chuckiesdad (talk) 05:27, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've posted patent drawings for a few of the models listed, but they are pretty dry. A photo or two would be helpful. Chuckiesdad (talk) 20:43, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other related equipment

Would Scruggs/Keith banjo tuners on a guitar qualify as B-Benders? I've seen both acoustic and electric guitar players use them to bend an open string on the fly. This is in addition to their original use as quick and reliable pre-sets for alternate tunings. I don't have an opinion about this. Chuckiesdad (talk) 07:34, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article improvements

This article was originally rated Stub, I've revised that status to Start class but would appreciate an independent review. Chuckiesdad (talk) 02:52, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1967?

I think it is hard to believe that the B-Bender was invented in 1967 when it is already clearly to be heard on the Byrds' "Time Between" which has been recorded in December 1966 for the "Younger Than Yesterday" LP. Probably there should be some research on when this devide has been actually invented. 217.232.103.65 (talk) 13:02, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
