It might have been Bob Warford...who was a friend of Clarence Whites'. Bob has the second Tele ever to have a B Bender. His white Tele with rosewood neck used to belong to Clarence but traded it to Bob for a Roy Noble acoustic. Clarence previously used that Tele as a studio musician on teh BYrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo. Bob installed the bender after he got it with his Dad and help from Gene Parsons. Bob was a member of Linda Ronstadt's band in the early 70's and is heard all over "Heart Like A Wheel"....and a studio musician who backed up many artists including the Everly's, Emmylou Harris, Chris Hillman, Herb Pedersen...
Here's a pic of Bob on the right backing up EmmyLou along with James Burton..
