Fender Japan TL-52 Telecaster B-Bender, Sunburst

Very cool Japanese Telecaster in two tone sunburst with a retrofitted Parsons B-Bender; an expensive upgrade that allows you to achieve pedal steel-like bends with ease, perfect for country, rock, and blues enthusiasts.

Developed by Gene Parsons and Clarence White in the late 1960s, the Parsons B-Bender is a mechanical system housed within the guitar body which is activated by pushing down on the guitar neck while wearing a shoulder strap. As you move the neck, the B-Bender lever inside the guitar pulls the B string upward, creating smooth, pedal steel-like bends.

It gives a host of possibilities that would otherwise require advanced finger techniques or pedals. It delivers signature pitch shifts making it ideal for intricate lead work or adding rich texture to chords. It has been professionally fitted so it seamlessly integrates with the Telecaster design preserving the guitar’s classic look and feel while "putting pedal steel licks in the hands of guitarists!"

Overall this guitar is in excellent condition, plays well and looks great. Comes complete with a hard shell case.
