I'm sure some are in the know but some others who like this period of Byrds might not realize that Clarence White's original 'b-bender' guitar ended up with Marty Stuart, who plays the guitar quite a bit with his band The Fabulous Superlatives.

If you don't know about Marty Stuart but like this type of country rock music, you definitely should check out some of his recordings with that band. They did a TV show on the RFD network backing up quite a few classic artists including a great session with Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman. That episode also has a section about the B-Bender guitar too. The Fabulous Superlavtives also have an excellent record called "Way Out West" that is a tribute to the various California country styles of that era (produced by Mike Campbell of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers), which you may also dig.

Yes, I've watched that before also the video where Gene Parsons shows how he developed the guitar.
