Oh, geez, there are so many. Of course, tons of stuff by Clarence and Bob Warford - they wrote the book early-on. I saw Clarence with the Byrds in Boston in 1969 (with Flying Burrito Brothers opening) not too long after he put it on there. That Tele into (I believe I recall, but I was, let's just say, not completely on this earth at the time) a Dual Showman Reverb, it was stunning. But the first I saw his bender was on TV - Playboy After Dark in '68, there are clips on youtube, e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S97hGKNfIfU - I used to watch that religiously for the music, which frequently transcended the bizarre vibe of the show.
One of my favorites to this day is Albert on Dave Edmunds' Sweet Little Lisa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddD5yuAy6q0 - the whole thing was completely mind-boggling at the time - actually, it still is

Marty Stuart owns Clarence's Tele now. It's his main axe and he picks the hell out of it:

Marty has owned that guitar since 1980. When he went to White's home and White's widow was selling some of Clarence's stuff - but Marty was more interested in the guitar and Susie knew it because she asked him, "You really want to see the guitar, don't you?" and he said, "Yes."
Well, to make a long story short, Stuart wound up with the guitar and some of Clarence's clothes for the (probably then-unheard of) price of $1,450.00.
Someone on Michelle's (Clarence's daughter) FB page the other day suggested that Marty give the guitar back to Michelle. However, she didn't agree with that logic. Her reply was, "I've lost far more precious things than that guitar. I'm not bothered that he has it." (Michelle's Mother, Suzy, and brother, Eric were (eerily) both killed in a car accident in the early 1980s. Clarence's father, Eric, Sr., is buried next to Clarence at Joshua Tree Memorial Park. I got the extreme pleasure of being in a band that opened for Marty and the FS back in '08. I also, finally, got to play "Clarence", a little before Marty went onstage that night for the second of two shows. He was very nice about the whole thing. My Mom, even at her age, got a little star-struck when Marty walked by her to get the guitar off of the guitar rack. LOL!!
I'm glad Marty has the guitar and that he's out there actually playing it and it's not sitting in a closet rotting away or something. I've often wondered what will happen to the guitar when Marty passes, though....

Sorry Ray, as much as I loved Al that's not him on the Haggard Cut... It's Reggie Young on his Telecaster with no bender playing through an MXR Dynacomp compressor... He told all about the cut in an old Guitar Player interview some years back....JH in Va.Ray Harrison wrote:Al Bruno with Merle on "That's The Way Love Goes"

Don't matter who's in Austin (or anywhere else) Ralph Mooney is still the king!!!
Lead guitarist for Diamond Rio, Jimmy Olander plays a double bender on his Telecaster. In 1994, Diamond Rio recorded a cover version of the Eagles' Lyin' Eyes" with Jimmy Olander playing the double benderQuentin Hickey wrote:Listen to Diamond Rio. He plays a double bender. They have some good songs too.

Thanks for tip on The Sadies, Mel. I just ordered a CD. That's a sweet little solo at 1:15 on the video you posted.Mel Bergman wrote:Check out any of Dallas Good's work in The Sadies.are a killer band, and this is a B Bender tour de force.

Don't hear anything that screams bender but Young does have a bender in the tele he normally plays. Also that clip would make a good addition to the list of "reasons to not use a compressor".Jerry Hayes wrote:Sorry Ray, as much as I loved Al that's not him on the Haggard Cut...

I don't think Reggie had the bender in his black Tele when that album was recorded...he hardly ever ever used it anyway...I played in a band with Reggie for 2 or 3 years and don't recall ever hearing him use it once...Dustin Rhodes wrote:Don't hear anything that screams bender but Young does have a bender in the tele he normally plays.

As for the compressor...Reggie was the first guy in country music to use that as an effect(remember Buddy Emmons on the"Ray Price and the Cherokee Cowboys Reunited album?Pretty"squeezey")rather than a limiter...it caught on in a big way...
we probably oughta cut him more than a little slack.
