  1. I picked up a Wildcat on sale from Guitar Center a few years ago. I like the aesthetic and size of them. Not much bigger then my Les Paul. Price point got me into a semi hollow body without breaking the bank. The stock licensed Bigsby sits very close to the bridge. This creates a steep break angle of the strings from the TOM bridge to the roller bar on the Bigsby. Numerous people more knowledgeable then I have cited this steep break angle as central to it’s tuning issues. I had my guitar tech install an aftermarket Biggsfix Tuning Stabilizer V3. It replaces the original roller bar on the Bigsby with one that sits higher thereby reducing the break angle. This and some love to the stock bridge and nut has dramatically improved the tuning and playability of my Kat. The stock nut came a little low from the factory. I’ll likely replace it someday, but for now I’m more then happy playing it as is👍 Cheers!
