The Dietrich Parts Easy B‑Bender is a mechanical guitar accessory designed to give players pedal-steel-style pitch bends on the B string. It replaces the standard stop-tailpiece with a lever system, allowing the B string’s pitch to be raised by roughly a half-step or whole step when the lever is pressed. This creates expressive bends without needing to manipulate the fretting hand, bringing a classic country or rock sound to standard electric guitars in a way that’s faithful to traditional B‑bender designs but simpler to install and operate.

Installation requires removing the original tailpiece and fitting the Easy B‑Bender in its place. The B string is threaded through a dedicated lever arm, and adjustment screws allow fine-tuning of the bend interval to the player’s preference. The system includes replaceable washers and felt pads to maintain smooth operation, and the lever can be positioned so it doesn’t get in the way during normal playing. This setup ensures the unit is both functional and unobtrusive when not in use.

Once in place, the Easy B‑Bender enhances a guitar’s expressive capabilities, allowing controlled, natural-sounding pitch shifts via direct mechanical tension rather than electronics. It opens up new performance possibilities, giving access to classic bending techniques typically associated with pedal steel guitars while maintaining the instrument’s acoustic string response and overall feel.
