Bigsby bridge third string compensation
« on: March 21, 2010, 09:25:08 PM »
Amazingly Bigsby still make there bridges compensated for a wound third string (!?).

Does anyone know if there is a Bigsby replacement bridge with compensation for an unwound third?

Try a Tru-Arc bridge with a set of 11's.

I use a bar bridge(and 11s) on my Gretsch, however a friend wanted to know if there was a Bigsby bridge with compensation for a wound 3rd (hence the question!).
