The Parsons style bender (shoulder strap)is for the b. By pushing away from you on the neck, the Beltloop labyard actuates the G bender.
I played a Fender Parsons Greene for 11 years loving theB bender concept. My first Double bender was a Timara. Inexpensive and looks funny , but its very effective.
I chose to NOT get the Parsons type G bender for this reason:
Parsons style G benders actuate by pulling the neck toward you.

I never played one, but what happens is you pull the neck back hard on any guitar? I was afraid of fretting out issues. This was pure speculation, and I'd be interested in hearing from any double bender players out there.

Thanks,
