The Forrest DB Boost B and G Bender is a string bender’s dream.
For the uninitiated: “Bender” guitars employ internal springs and levers to bend individual strings up to a fixed pitch. Typically, the Bstring is raised a whole step by pulling down against the guitar strap. This tugs the upper-bout strap button through a routed slot, triggering a mechanism that runs through the body to the bridge area, where it raises the string’s pitch.
This ingenious device can also be attached to the G string. Sometimes the strap button controls the B string, while a lever near the neck plate controls the G string. This second lever is attached to a lanyard hooked on the player’s belt, so that pushing the guitar away from the player’s body raises the pitch. This is called a double-bender guitar.
Clarence White, Albert Lee, Jimmy Page, and Ricky Skaggs have all used B-bender guitars to amazing ends. Brad Paisley uses a G Anchorbender. Jimmy Olander of Diamond Rio rocks an instrument fitted with both. The DB Boost B and G Bender is for players like Olander, for whom one bender is not enough.
