  • I thought the 50s tribute had p90s? 
    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.

    I was very pleasantly surprised... chunky neck which suits me... pups will be changed at some point... So much guitar for the money.
    This was going to be a crimbo pressie for my lad... Im going to have to get him something else now... This is staying... and it'll be gigged within an inch of its life!...

    There were also some older limited editions with humbuckers - I used to have one from 2011, a Thomann special edition.
