What do we think?

Not my cup of Tetleys personally but not offensive. Fender did a Jazzmaster with a Bigsby in their Magnificent Seven run recently.

I have a Johnny Marr Jag and the trem arm (yes, I know it's actually vibrato) on that is just perfect.

Can't be worse than the shit they come with.

Is that a Vibramate for a Jaguar now?

TheMarlin

I like Bigsbys.  Looks fine to me

Works for me.

I’ve never played or lived with a bigsby or a jaguar but i’m a fan of the looks of that.. 

Goes really well with all the chrome on it. 

The more I look, the more I like. 

I would however do the unholiest of holys and put a couple buckers in there, mod the switching for coil splits, refret with xj’s and thats right up my alley!

Which part is the mod?

It's one of those aggressively ugly Fenders that I ignore that always look like an experiment in someone's shed so I can't actually tell...

Bigsby's are cool.

Bigsbies are cool, but also demonstrably less good than the Fender offset trem (in bigsbies with tension bars like the B5 & 7), so I don’t quite understand.

Totally agree. I like Bigsbies but the original vibrato is better.

Sorry, but it's an absolute abomination. Tone pots should always have knobs on.

impmann

I just don't understand... "why"?

at least it's not a Floyd Rose

OK, without opinion.

I asked Dan Strain (of Danocaster) if he’d build me a Jazzmaster with a Bigsby... his response was very polite but said it would be heresy to put a Bigsby on a Jazzmaster when the original unit is perfect. 

I still think they look cool though.

Just teasing.
