Nice! You got a really good deal. They're great guitars.
I've got the hardtail version in silver sparkle. I wanted to be like Billy Zoom. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

thanks all! i loved the way it sounded plugged into a simple little fender champ...it took me AGES to figure out the bigsby when I restrung it...then i realized that i was a fucking knob and i figured it out in two seconds.
this guitar is so nice in my hands...me lovey.

Those are some big ass pics too. I was imagining a horror story until they loaded. Now I DO want. Great find.

That is EPIC! I was tempted to buy one at $400 at my local Gc. Those are great playing guitars!

i have to admit that the bigsby was fucking wayyyyy pissing me off last night...but once i figured out my (own) mistake, it wasn't too bad...and i love the way it sounds...i'm missing not playing it right now!superfuzz wrote:That is EPIC!

Yeah they can take a while to get used too. I normally glide my bigsby in(Gretsch 2001 HotRod), opposed to treating it like a normal tremelo. I<3 Gretschs.

i've been pining for one forever...and since i don't have the 4k to drop on a hollow-body gretsch...this will have to do for now.superfuzz wrote:Yeah they can take a while to get used too.

what do you mean "gliding?

I take it from the downward(the end of the bar facing the knobs), and swing the bar upwards, as well as pushing the arm down.

Kind of like how Brian Setzer does it aswell(i think?). It works best for either the first use of the tremelo, or for slower tremelo use.
