I have heard of this gadget that can be aftermarket fitted to a Fender Telecaster to bend the G string by pulling the guitar strap!

Does anybody have a picture of it? I can't figure out why you want to bend only the G string! What does it sound like? Any songs that features a "G-Bender" ?

Should I put one on my Telecaster?

That's because you aren't going for the twangy country sound.

Great link that! Actually shows what it looks like and how it works. Was that a B string (ie B-Bender)?

I think a G Bender would be most useful (bending up a whole tone).

There is another option that can be fitted to the bridge like two tremolo arms that works by levers to bend either G, B or both by a half or whole tone. It'd be easier than holding up those bends with your first finger, eh?

"I heard the best B-Bender Telecaster sound came from a band named The Hellecasters. What is their best album to listen to?"

The Return of the Hellecasters. They're all good, but this one stands out for me. I can't tell you offhand which tracks feature the B bender, but my favourite track on this is 'King Arthur's Dream'
Good luck,

I went out and bought The Hellecasters "essential listening volume 1" and love it !!!!! These guys are great! They are the Telemasters!
