Tele bigsby (style) and paint tweakin'

[cromulent]

This is more like it. And no, it's not an Epiphone.

I think I just need to get used to the Bigsby. Definitely way different than the trem (let's be real - it's a vibrato) on my strat. Neck dive is better. Weird having so much hardware now. I think I hate the ashtray but I guess that's addressable.

that was my curiosity, how the bigsby compares to the gotoh 510, jazzmaster, etc. and i believe thats what your commenting to.

I'm curious about the Jazzmaster vibrato now. Before this Bigsby, I've only ever had a standard strat bar. Maybe this will open up a whole new world for me.

Ok finally done, swapped out tuners and went with steel barrel saddles this time (I have two sets of brass if I wanna change).

BOOM Lil' Blueberry is alive! Duncan Jerry Donahue/Gibson Burstbucker Pro Neck the pickguard is silver aluminum, hard to tell from pic.

Yes just to be clear it IS an authentic "Chigsby" but it is working very well! I wanted to try one before I took the plunge on an actual. I am toying with putting an actual B50 on another guitar now.

Well I wasn't satisfied, so am going out of the blue and into the black. However, some blue will make a slight return.

Gonna bring back the blue like Vernon Reid's signature ESP brought back the blue, pink, and white?
