Re: NGD: Good Golly Miss Dotty!

Bigsbys are cool, but much like synchronized tremolos, they need to be on a guitar with very little string binding. They are also geared towards more subtle uses, as in your finger might have more range than the bar, but they are very cool for shimmering atmospheric chords.

They also have a very different feel than more extreme whammy bars. I actually much prefer their feel over any other vibrato bridge I've used.

+1

I have Bigsbys on both my 335 and SG, and I needed a roller bridge for the latter so it would stay in tune after touching the bar.

And a further +1 to skipping the Bigsby unless you're actually going to use it.

Sweet! Love the natural color. Another "nay" on the Bigsby. But also, another "but it isn't my guitar".

By the way - had some play time. Feels great!

However - those foil pickups, I don't know who they are for, but it certainly isn't me. NOT loving them at all. MUST go....

Classy guitar. Bigsby not needed. And I have several guitars with them, including a Casino. Keep it classy. Simple and natural with black accessories.
