Genuine B-Benders are installed through routing the back of the guitar so the mechanism runs from the bridge up to a lever that replaces the top strap nut. The effect is kind of like the sound of a pedal steel.

The deal with the gadget in the original post is that it doesn't seem to require any routing. Seems like something that would mainly appeal to country guys ...
