GuitarJohn Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Did the 1964 Gibson SG Special ever have a factory installed Bigsby? When was the Bigsby an option on the SG's? Thanks, JohnnyB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG Jones Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Did the 1964 Gibson SG Special ever have a factory installed Bigsby? When was the Bigsby an option on the SG's? Thanks, JohnnyB Yes. Bigsbys were a factory option for Gibson in the '60s. For SGs they were most common in '64 and '65 .The ones I have seen have been on on standards. I'm not so sure a Bigsby would stay at all in tune with a compensated wrap around. Do a web search and I'm sure you'll come up with some pics of standards. Nationwide Guitars sold a beaut last year. Have a look: Also, here is a fake I made with my '61 RI: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Also, here is a fake I made with my '61 RI: Double fake because you used a vibramate. Sorry, could not resist lobbing that dirt bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been on just about everything I own at one point or another. I use it to flush the toilet right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
