bigsby operation a success.

[big bob]

A friend of mine replaced the arm on his bigsby with one of the chet atkins style arms a while back.  Because he had no further use of the old arm he sent it on to me. I have always likes bigsby better than foyds, but I have always hated where the arm swing stops.
So last night I broke out the grinder and did a little tinkering..

before

after

works much better now.. I also rounded the bottom edge more as it felt kinda sharp from the factory.
