They look good on big hollow bodied guitars, Gibson, Gretsch, ect.

.....on Teles and other solid bodied guitars they look like an "after-thought" Like fitting a side car on a crotch-rocket!

+1! Even though I think the design is garbage, there is basically no other way to have a trem on a jazz box. They do look OK on a big hollow. It should be a sin to put them on anything else.

They are still garbage on ANYTHING at the end of the day.

I have one on my Gibson LP Studio. I love it and don't regret it. Plus it doesn't decrease the value.

I love having a properly set up Bigsby. The real secret to them is to know how to use them.

I think they look great on a Tele..... Go for it, just have it properly installed and setup.
