What innovative guitar accessory did Clarence help invent?

  • The E-Tuner

  • Capo

  • B-Bender

  • Whammy Bar

Answer

The B-Bender, a Clarence White innovation, revolutionized country guitar playing. Installed on the guitar's bridge, it allows for distinctive string bending effects by pulling the B-string up to a full step above its standard pitch, creating a pedal steel guitar-like sound and opening up new sonic possibilities for soloing and expressiveness.
