I mentioned that i bought an Epiphone ES-295, which came with what I believe to be a Bigsbly "licensed" B3 tremelo (EDIT: it's actually a B7). It works, but if a real one is less than $120, is it worth getting the real thing?
Also, this is my first guitar with a tunomatic bridge. This one has definitely developed some rattles from me beating on it for the last month. I wondered if you can replace just the metal part of the bridge assembly with an upgraded part. Like this or this.
I really have a hard-on for the bridges with embedded piezos (I have one on another guitar) and they have a tunomatic version. Does this, or gibson OEM, etc assembly replace the one on the guitar now retaining the rosewood bridge beneath it? Is it better to go ahead and get the entire assembly? What about the Brushed aluminum Bigsby bridges? Are they cool, too?
I can't help myself. I am a strat guy and I can't help but start screwing with my guitars as soon as I get them home.
