Bigsby B5 Vibrato Kit - Flat Top Solid Body (Gibson SG, Flying V, Exlporer, Firebird)

Bigsby B5 Vibrato Kit - Flat Top Solid Body (Gibson SG, Flying V, Exlporer, Firebird) Review



Bigsby B5 Vibrato Kit - Flat Top Solid Body (Gibson SG, Flying V, Exlporer, Firebird) Feature

  • Bigsby B5 Vibrato Kit - Flat Top Solid Body
Vibrato Kit. Made by Bigsby.

For solid body Gibson (Gibson SG, Flying V, Exlporer, Firebird) guitars, the B5 Bigsby bridge is for manually creating a true vibrato.

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 hand-made 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.
