    lol, how many do you have? Not many. 3, or 4... 5, 12, some mij, copies.... maybe 25?
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    A pioneer of a sound. I love this bit: 

    ‘50% of what I play is out of tune’

    Loveless is one of the all-time great albums.


    If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it.

    Was interesting about pushing the bridge to the back - I guess the same effect of only ever being flat/in tune can be acieved with the trem lock though.

    As a a result of watching this, I did have a mess with my jag’s trem lock, some reverse reverb and fuzz last night and sure enough I had MBV sounds aplenty!
