Bigbsy Trigger Warning: Gibson Explorer

Cirrus

Well, I've done it. I've committed a crime against god.






To be honest, I like how it looks. It has made the guitar (7.5lbs before) noticeably heavier, between the B5 and the Vibramate. It's also changed the sound, and I'm still trying to get my head around how I feel about that.

Everything is better with a Bigsby. Nice work

Came here expecting to hate this. Actually finding it surprisingly difficult to…

…in fact I can’t, not even a little bit.

Have a Wow!…

I concur

That’s epic. Though the vibramate is weak sauce. Would look much better moved back an inch… 

Whitecat

I love it.

Now that’s an upgrade!!

I'm not even a V or Explorer fan but agree with you

ElectricXII

Love it. Proof that a Bigsby improves the looks of any guitar.

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Explorers suddenly cried out in horror and were suddenly going out of tune all the time..."

Good move Josh

You’ve ruined that.

A 7.5lb explorer is my dream guitar and you’ve made it the equivalent of JedWard.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Well, you can't have it either way so rest easy 

In all seriousness, I'm going to put it back eventually, I was just curious.

That looked so wrong the first time I saw it. But the more I look at it... dangit.  I think it's growing on me.
