Just stumbled across these after @Raymondlin mentioned he had one

wow. I feel an order coming on. 


The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    He (Eric) builds them and I believe his wife paints them. They are all hand painted, build to order. Mine took 2 weeks build time and a week in the mail.

    Haha I emailed the guy about the Stargazer earlier too!  Like the idea od having a reverb with two presents. He responded quickly. 7-14 days build. He's running a $10 off each pedal sale on 1st and 2nd April.  Buy Buy Buy!

    They are tall pedals, tallest of all mine by far so careful where you position them, for example putting the Stargazer at the front of the board, any pedals behind it will be difficult to reach.

    I'm surprised you didn't hold off till the Starlite gets released ;)
    Although not sure if a tap tempo to control the modulation speed would be with the cost it'll be!
