GIANTRobOT420 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I just ordered a Bigsby for my SG and was wondering if anyone had tuning problems with these? Should I get a roller bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I've got 4 guitars with trems. Although no Bigsby currently, I've had a couple in the past. The Bigsby is very nice, and for me were maintained stable tuning with nut sauce on the nut and bridge. I use Big Bends Nut Sauce. For me the it's string breakage. Currently 2 of my 4 trem setups include roller bridges which I added for string breakage - works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I have a B5 on my SG and a B7 on my Epiphone Sheraton. For both I kept the tune-o-matic bridge and have not had any issues. I did put a set of Sperzel Trim-Lok tuners on both and I use Big Bends nut sauce in the nut slots. Works like a charm. I think you'll like the Bigsby a lot. My only regret with it is that I did not put one on my SG sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpdeluxe Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 The B5 is made as a Gibson model which is designed to work with a tune-a-matic. I mounted one on my SG with a Vibramate -- it makes for a really clean installation, with no new holes to drill and no old holes to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIANTRobOT420 Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Sweet, the one I ordered comes with the Vibramate and I have Sperzel tuners already. So alittle bend juice and ill be good. Thanks people much respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
