Bigsby Tailpiece: Why don't I see more of them?

[junplugged]

I really want a hollow w/ bigsby. Need some Setzer fix about now, what are those jazz chords anyway? b9, #9, -7b5, dim., ??

Neil Young uses one on his Les Paul.

I just did an Ebay search and you can get a Bigsby for a Les Paul for $80.00 !

Epiphone has a new Scotty Moore for around 700 bucks, It may have a bigsby option.

Why doesn't Gibson come out with a les paul with a Floyd Rose on it?

I saw a local Arizona band called Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers (Roger Clyne used to be the lead singer of The Refreshments)...anyway, his lead guitar player rocked, and he was playing a Guild les paul style guitar with a Bigsby tremolo on it, which he used a lot. It sounded really excellent. I've seen some Teles with Bigsbys on them that look sweet. Haven't played one yet.

I think dragonworks is going to put a gold one on his custom homemade tele.

I will be gluing the the pieces for the neck together today. Five piece laminate.
And yes, she is getting a gold bigsby, it is right here under the computer desk.
