2020年10月28日 · I picked up a new Les Paul Special this week and am very excited about it! I have owned about 5 specials and none of them scratched the 50s neck wrap around tv yellow itch. This one does it! I have a slight addiction to bigbsys and have a feeling before too long this one will joining the club. Id go with a B7.

2008年8月12日 · To follow on from Dasher's fine post; 1. Rather than roller saddles, I'd recommend Graph tech string savers. They're self-lubricating - I fit them to all my Bigsby-equipped guits, and they really help with tuning stabil

2023年10月24日 · Honesty compels me to note that I just bought a Les Paul with a Bigsby, and it’s my new favorite guitar. However, it’s a LP Special Pro, with a thin all-mahogany body, so even with the Bigsby it’s light as LPs go. Probably between 8 and 8.5 pounds by the feel. But still….

2022年4月25日 · title says it. I've come across a 2015 Gibson ES Les Paul Limited Edition Memphis whatever with Bigsby. I wonder whether I should buy it. I have a Strat and for quite a while I wanted a Gibson, but I could never decide between a 335 and a Les Paul. As I love Clapton/Bluesbreakers and Led Zeppelin I should buy both but can't afford it.

2018年2月1日 · The knack is to grip the ball end of the string in a pair of pliers then put a bend in the string by wrapping it round the pliers Never had one on a les Paul, but have had them on a tele, a few gretsches and a 335.

2018年12月2日 · The Vibramate needs to be left loose enough, so that it can pivot, to permit the Bigsby to be angled to the rear of the body. 1. Adjust the Vibramate screws, to where the Vibramate will slightly rock forward and back. 2. Lay the Bigsby onto the Vibramate, secure the Bigsby, and angle the Bigsby toward the rear of the guitar. 3.

2017年7月14日 · I want a vibrato arm on my Les Paul. At least, I think I do. I'm ready to buy the Bigsby B7 and Vibramate adapter. I could opt for a vibrato arm added to my Telecaster. Any lessons learned from current/previous Bigsby aftermarket owners?

2011年8月4日 · Also have a look at the Vibramate mounting kits - they make a kit for Les Pauls (with the B7 Bigsby) so you don't have to drill into the body here (and yes they make them in gold). Click to expand... Just installed a B7 with Vibramate V7 on my Studio 60s Tribute (lightback) the other night.

2021年7月6日 · On my les paul if I go out of tune, I have to raise the bigsby, and drop the bigsby and then check the tuning. The strings don’t change pitch/slip, but the bridge can rock and get stuck or a string can get stuck at the nut. If you tune without doing “the shake”, you’ll put it sharp or flat when you hit the bigsby again

2023年11月21日 · I like it quite a bit. Have added Bigsby‘s to three Les Pauls with 0 regrets (B5, vibramate, no drill, fully reversible). I did not feel it was changing the tone or sustain that much. If anything, I felt they sounded slightly „better“ afterwards. Arguably, a Bigsby looks …
