Nice Jet w/ Filters Sellen!!!

 

I only have Bigsby's on Gretsch's which ain't a bad thing for sure to me!

 

Kind of marginal photo but I've still got to get the front porch wood deck finished with the pressure washer! [biggrin]

Lots of pretty babies there guys,Damian your SG looks spectacular and Bender 4 life that Tele really looks sharp.In the late 60s Pete Townshend went through a phase of using Bigsby equipped Teles too.I have a one-off Black '66 Gretsch Tennessean with a Bigsby but sadly I still don't have the computer smarts to access Photo Bucket and post it on the forum.

Man G. Dog, is that some interesting "rigging" on the LP. Are the appointments gold color? Looks like it but can't tell for 100% sure with photo's.

 

Nice gits here guys. Bigsby's do a good job Vibratoing to my ear.

My Gretsch and Wildkat came with the Bigsby. I added the B7 to my Casino after several months. Glad I did; makes it a bit more versatile and improved the sustain slightly.

 

Tempted to add a Bigsby to my Dot, but hmmmm.... [confused]

Do it! I used to have a mid nineties Made in Korea Sheraton that I put a B7 on. Talk about a really fun guitar to play. Turned her from great to a tone machine. The pair of Gibson 57s probably helped too. [biggrin]

What is with all of the condoms Vibramate devices? Mount the Bigsby like a man or go home. Does your bicycle still have training wheels? Do you use a dental dam with your wife/husband?

I laughed. Hard. I don't even like Bigsbies a little bit, but if I did, I'd mount that b1tch like a sumo wrestler, the way it should be.

Are you meaning the little "Prophylactic" that comes on the bigs when it's new? [lol] Sometimes I just don't take all that stuff off for a long time. Some gits still have their pickguard protector sheet on them & sticker. You do have to be careful of that with a white pickguard however. They suntan everywhere but the sticker and when you then take film w/ sticker off you have a nice bright white shape where the EPI sticker starburst was and the rest more aged. ](*,) Had to "suntan" a Standard Casino with some UV light exposure to get it all even before I sold it once. [biggrin]

Yeah, most of the time when I take pix of my guitars it's either when I just get them or just mod/have them modded. True with all the Bigsby pix I posted. Frankly, I didn't even notice the "tip" cover on the first one for about a week! Rest assured, that they're all gone now [biggrin]

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. The Dot's a keeper because I upgraded all the electronic's, switches, etc. and put in SD Classic p/u's. I'm really liking the Bigsby's on my other guitars, even though I don't use them a lot.

 

Would have to go black and the only option I see is the B700, but other than being "licensed" doesn't look all that different from a B7.

A new mutt for my stable.....

Tell me about the putting the B7 on an SG..

 

I think it looks much cooler than the B5 but are there any functional drawbacks? Is the roller too close to the bridge? Is the bar at a comfortable place for you to grab?

Not sure if you cats are f'ing with me or just don't realize that I am talking about the Vibramate devices. That little rubber end on the bar is great. I kept mine on my SG Classic.
