Question: I missed the memo on Bigsby hate

I don't care for Bigsbys, aesthetically, and while fixes exist for string changes, it's more of a hassle than I'm looking for. And though user error may account for some tuning stability issues, playing a guitar without a Bigsby is hard enough for me. :)

For those of y'all that love 'em, rock on.

I've got a Bigsby on an Ibanez AS-73 that is just perfect. As noted previously, it's good for a more subtle vibrato. To me, the size of the body is perfect to accommodate the Bigsby from an aesthetic point of view.

:thu: I have an AS-75T, same color!
 
I want that exact Ibby that @Stratguy has, but in red.

and maybe a hotrod flame paintjob

and dice for knobs

okay, I want an Epi FlameKat, but with the better build of the Ibby. :lol:
and minus that plate on the headstock
and dice tuners

HEY! It works in Safari! So here's my L-50 with a Bigsby. Hate on.
Excuse the claw marks. One of the politicians got a bit frisky.

I almost had one, but they ordered it without me asking (I only asked if it was POSSIBLE for them to get it), and some other prick bought it before I had the cash....
I did get to play it before he came in.
want
very much want

one day...

one day.

then again, I'd never use it onstage (I play bass in the band)
but maybe a new band would be in order.
it's lookin' that way
 
I didn't have the money
I'd just landed in that city not a month before
didn't have a job...("buddy" lied to me about having work for me)
was just a shitty deal for having to miss out on that guitar

that said, I;d probably not use much else in my collection if I had that....
I'd keep one Rich, the Ibby (has Floyd), SG, and then...wel...that'd be about it.
 
Sorry to hear about the cash shortage. Been there, and it's a real bummer when something comes along.
 
ah, I've been below poverty line all my life.
apart from one glorious moment.
bought a house and some guitars.

I don't make smart choices, never have.
never will

but I enjoy life 110%

only got one, right?
might as well live it as though it's my last

thus, for the most part, I am a happy Peeker.
 
I guess I'm in the not hating Bigsby group since I have 4 (IIRC). Actually 3 and 1 copy. Also lurking in the back of my mind is a butterscotch blackguard Tele with a Bigsby. One of these days, summer maybe, I'll get to building it. Or maybe not.
