WTB: Vibramate String Spoiler

Dontgiveupyourdayjob · August 2022

I love playing Bigsbys.

I hate restringing Bigsbys.

I love the idea of a Vibramate.

I hate the idea of paying the thick end of £50 for a new one.

Anyone got one going spare?

Use a capo when restringing. Simples.

I do that already, but you've still gotta faff on with bending the ball end round and hooking it on the peg. I honestly don't understand why all Bigsbys aren't 'string-through' - we're in the 21st century people!

Too much! I thought the Vibramate was pricey, but at least you don't have to dismantle the whole thing to fit it.

I thought it was round about the same price as the Vibramate...and much more elegant...but there is probably less chance of finding one used.

I kitted-out my first Bigsby equipped guitar with all the Callaham mods...no complaints.
I've now got a second Bigsby guitar which I'm keeping stock.

Howdy, Stranger!
