When you cross a pedal steel and telecaster you get a B Bender, aka stringbender. You can put the bender on any string. Brad Paisley uses a G Bender and There's a YouTube video of Paisley demonstrating his G Bender
The Bakersfield sound re-incarnated as country rock when Clarence White and Gene Parsons invented the B Bender in 1967 and put on White's 1955 Tele when they were playing in Nashville West. White was also a session player so that sound was used on the last albums of the 1st Byrds band and the second Byrds band and eventually joined that band for Sweetheart at Rodeo. Many of those groups back then were using that sound. Eagles, Jackson Browne, Roseanne Cash, Everly Brothers, Jimmy Page, Pete Townsend
Marty Stuart ended up owning Clarence White's B Bender and in 2011 recorded the Hummingbyrd album with that guitar. He won a grammy for the album, playing Clarence White music on Clarence White's guitar. Today, mostly C&W guitarists use the stringbenders.
My Tele has a Hipshot system. Both G and B benders, and three toggles that can but me into G bottleneck tuning.
Oh,,,, and I also opened for the Byrds when they played at UWM Milwaukee. I played a duet performance with my late friend, Howie Epstein, who later when on to plain with Tom Petty.
Oh, and one of my close friends is Jerry Brightman, who started playing for Buck, as a Buckaroo, at age 17. Spent a couple hours with him a few days ago. Been around,,,,,,,,
