“Yes, it did make my guitar look cooler – but it took a bit of getting used to…” I’d always wanted to try a Bigsby, so I put one on my Les Paul. It changed the way my guitar sounded – and the way I played

Gibson Les Paul Studio with a Bigsby.

There’s no two ways about it: Bigsbys are really cool. Stick one on practically any electric guitar, and – at least in my books – its aesthetic appeal will skyrocket.

This observation is especially applicable to Gibson Les Pauls. The Keefburst? Stunning. Jimmy Page’s Black Beauty? Say no more.
