if you decided to put a B7 on there.ĭuesenberg/Goeldo do versions of all of the Bigsby tailpieces, and these generally tend to be a better built mousetrap, though don't have quite the same iconic look of a Bigsby.Īlso, if you do go Bigsby, the Towner hinge adapter plates are well worth considering as they remove the need for drilling new holes in your guitar. Anything that changes that will change the feel i.e. A longer length of string gives a slinkier feel - the strings feel a bit more rubbery, but more effort is actually required to bend them. The feel is down to the length of the string behind the bridge and the break-angle over the bridge. Stock pickups sound fine, but the volume knobs are not great, one of them is lose etc, so might upgrade the cables.Īlso, a good quality nut and that would be that! A kind of a 'lose' feel is all I can describe it as, and I am not sure if it is down to the trapeze v a stop tailpiece. I updated the original thread title, as I am in between a trem, or not! Is there any worth in upgrading the stock trapeze tailpiece? My one fear with installing a trem is losing the feel I have playing it currently.
