The B 5 Bigsby bridge is for manually creating a true vibrato on solid body Telecasters and Jazzmaster guitars. The only true vibrato is to change the tone above and below the normal pitch.

Bigsby continues to manufacture vintage-style guitar parts including vibratos and bridges using the same handmade methods prescribed by founder Paul Bigsby half a century ago. Six hand assembled vibrato models are available with the Bigsby name. The tailpieces continue to be used as original equipment on guitars by many major manufacturers.

Great Add-on

Really adds a new range of sounds to your Telecaster. Great for anyone who enjoys rockabilly and surf style effects. The only downside is that it does take a major modification to your guitar.

Bigsby for Tele
Posted by White Falcon from Naples, FL on Sep 2, 2008

I just bought this a few weeks ago and I really like it. A tele type guitar without a Bigsby just looks naked to me now. I put it it on a G&L Classic Blues Boy and it works great. Issue #1 its harder then you might think to line this up straight, you may want to think about having a profession do it for you. I did it myself and its close enough to straight for me, but if I had to do it again, I'd pay a pro. #2 the supplied bridge plate does not fit well in the G&L pick guard opening for the bridge plate, I really had to push it in there hard, it may be fine on a Fender, but on the G&L its really tight; #3 something I didn't think about until it was done, but the guitar doesn't fit as well in the hard shell case that it came with, I have to push really hard to close the latches & I don't like that. Those three issues aside, I'm really glad I put this on my guitar

Awesome upgrade but with a hassle

I would highly recommend if you by this product to have it installed by a local shop or go out and buy the recommended drill bits and use a drill press to be precise. Gives it that awesome twang I was looking for without having to buy a Strat. Ah yes and if you don't have the patience, get it strung up when you have it installed by the pros.
