It's very cool!  8)

But one thing I've never understood - using a Bigsby with a wraparound bridge.  Same goes for some of the old Gibson SGs with wraparounds and Maestros (or whatever those units were).  Surely there's at least some tendency for the bridge to slip on the posts when the tremolo's in use?  :?

Maybe so that you can string it through the wraptail? Apart from the B string, then you have a B bender :lol:

That might actually work, in a weird sort of way.  Can Bigsbys raise the pitch as well as lowering it?

I suppose you could experiment with all sorts of variations, attaching some of the strings through the wraparound and some via the Bigsby.
