Ask Zac Episode 15 - B-Benders - The Real Story

Today we talk about B-Benders. I cover some of the untold stories of the B-Bender, showing some of the missing pieces of the story, including that of the Dean Porter bender, and the Dave Evans Pullstring. I also spend some time showing some fun B-Bender licks.

My Truetone Lounge interview with Al Perkins cued to him showing his original Dave Evans Pullstring equipped "butcher block" Tele.

Truetone Lounge interview with Gordon Kennedy showing his father's 1961 ES-335 with a Dean Porter B-Bender and E-drop mechanism.
