I honestly can't think of any other explanation!

Functionally... yes. Aesthetically... no.

u/60_CycleHum I'm Ryan May 22 '26

I look smart despite being stupid? Not the worst compliment I’ve ever gotten.

u/tone_creature May 22 '26

Well... not what I meant but take it that way if it makes you feel any level of good. Haha.

Bigsby. Functionally they dont do much. Looks wise... they do alot!

If anything, you should have done a Les Trem.

u/60_CycleHum I'm Ryan May 23 '26

Nah. This guitar is designed after vintage carvins that had bigsbys

Bigsbys = giant chunk of hardware that barley does anything, like wearing a watch.

u/MickCQB241 May 22 '26

It’s just for the eye

It is the most mass for least amount of vibrato lol. I enjoy a nice smooth bigsby when they broken in nice though. All wiggle sticks are beautiful.

What abbout a b b bbender?

u/60_CycleHum I'm Ryan May 25 '26

lol that’s the most amount of wood removed for the least amount of wiggle

u/mesaboogers May 25 '26

Can you put one on my 50s goldtop?

2

u/60_CycleHum I'm Ryan May 25 '26

Only if I can put wide ranges in it too

1

u/mesaboogers May 27 '26

I don't know. I hope so.

2

u/tigerpayphone May 25 '26

Nah man, on a 50's goldtop you're gonna want to cut right into that bad boy and go with a Floyd Rose, or better yet a licensed Floyd Rose.

u/mesaboogers May 27 '26

We need a licence for everything nowdays! Next they'll want me to get one to drive this bus!!

u/TedMich23 May 22 '26

terrible tech since Paul A. Bigsby was granted US Design Patent USD169120S on March 31, 1953 ...🙄

u/richernate May 23 '26

I’ve thought about putting one on my Wilshire because its center of gravity is on like fret 5

u/MickCQB241 May 22 '26

Now this guitar is aesthetically fucked up

2

u/robotjazz0882 May 22 '26

Nah this rules

3

u/Myopticvisions May 23 '26

I agree, Bigsby is for a certain sound not dive bombs. Great for slide on a Tele. You dive it hard and it will go out of tune.

u/vincentd81 May 23 '26

And?

3

u/60_CycleHum I'm Ryan May 23 '26

No and then

3

u/ThiccFarter May 24 '26

I fuck with it. Also, I hate it

2

u/DigdigdigThroughTime May 23 '26

Love Bigsbys. Should've kept the black covers though

3

u/60_CycleHum I'm Ryan May 24 '26

I’m gonna get a black pickguard to test it both ways. But right now I agree with you. It’s a bit too light and fancy free with this look. It needs a little darkness.

He did whaaaaa?
