Here's one that's simple but effective........

It mounts on the headstock by removing the nut on the low E string tuner. Then you just set it on the headstock, put the nut back on and run the B string through one of three holes in the nylon cord. The adjuster on the bottom adjusts length of the pull of the bender. You run a small chain or cord from the loop on top up to your guitar strap like on a Higgins Peg Bender. It pulls the string sideways and in reality the dang thing works very well and stays in tune. I used it for awhile but it just looks funny on a guitar so I just keep it for a conversation piece..........JH in Va.
