.....and I really like it



I’m a big Vibrato fan (my #1 is a 355), so I miss it when it’s not there on certain guitars so this has scratched and itch on a Les Paul. Anyone else done the same with a B5 or B7?

    Les Paul, Bigsby and P90s is a tremendous combination.

    Yeah, that looks brilliant! Have you noticed any change in the sound of the guitar?

    Reminds me of Jesse Hoff’s 54 Gold top.

    My finger is hovering over the “ban” button for this disgraceful show of lack of taste.

    A moustache could look good on the Mona Lisa. Could.

  • Heres a Bigsby on my 55 Special, was added before my time but I've grown to really like it, The strings feel slinkier and adds a bit of mojo.

    I love a Bigsby. If ever I make an LP copy it will surely have one.

  • How does it affect the tuning, ie after use, is the thing still tuned, especially the G string?

    I’ve personally had no issues with the tuning even when I give it a good wiggle

    It very much is. My 77 pro deluxe is an absolute beast.

    That is all kinds of awesome!
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.
