Tele on ebay..What's a Hipshot do?

I saw this on ebay tonight. Its a Custom Shop Tele with a "Hipshot".

What's this thing do? It looks really odd and kind of reminded me of going to the dentist....Fish

PS: Don't know the seller

It's a stringbender that raises the pitch

of the string it's on (usually the B string) up to a step depending on how hard you press the palm pedal...basically a bender that you don't have to route out a cavity in the body to install...
