Burns Bigsby Vibratos

Post by ekwatts »

I know they're still made but I've no idea where or if they're actually still made by Burns in either their Korean or Chinese factories, but they're out there somewhere. I've seen them mounted to Eastwoods and Aldens which I know share some facilities in China, but it seems they're just not available as aftermarket pieces, or I can't find them at least. And I want one. Does anybody know where to get one? I even tried emailing Burns but got no response.

Caution Watts: they're pretty cack, apparently. I seem to remember that Burns were pretty cross about them being produced because they weren't anything to do with them. I know a lot of Eastwood owners changed theirs out.
