1998 Fender American "Nashville" B-Bender Telecaster Sunburst

Here we have a 1998 Fender Nashville American B-Bender Telecaster in classic sunburst finish. This Tele is in excellent condition with just slight evidence of having been played. The B-Bender system is what makes this guitar unique and special. The B-Bender is a mechanical device that raises the pitch of the B string by a whole tone producing a similar effect to classic country pedal steel guitar.

The B-Bender was invented by alt country pioneers Clarence White and Gene Parsons who played in the Byrds in the late 1960s and early 1970s. To see a modern master of B-Bender playing check out Marty Stuart, particularly his instrumental, “Hummingbyrd.” Marty is amazing and he really shows what B-Benders can do.

Chrome “Fender” tuners. Comfortable 1 11/16 inch nut width. One-piece Maple neck with a 25.5 inch scale length. Neck depth is .80 inches at the first fret and .85 inches at the twelfth fret. Maple fingerboard with 22 frets and a modern 10 inch radius. All Fender U.S. pickups: neck and bridge are standard Tele pickups and the middle is a Strat-style pickup. Modern six-saddle American standard bridge. Factory Parsons-Green B-Bender system with adjustable tuning wheel.
