I do love a semi-acoustic, and I love a Bigsby. So why not put one on a 335? While I’m at it I’m going to change the bridge for one with rollers saddles since Bigsby tremolos are notorious for not staying in tune. I’m also going to fit a String Butler as the headstock shape […]
This really is a beautiful guitar. It’s been through my workshop before but it’s not behaving as well as you would like with a guitar at this level. It doesn’t seem to want to hold it’s tuning very well. I think it’s the usual problem but the owner assures me that he never uses the […]
