A Bigsby? equipped guitar will give you the expressive, fluid sound that only a true Bigsby vibrato can produce. The go-to choice for guitar players looking for unparalleled performance and vintage style, a Bigsby vibrato delivers smooth and accurate pitch changes, allowing you to create subtle vibrato effects. Its classic look and easy installation make it a popular choice for both guitarists and luthiers alike. Discover the Bigsby sound and take your playing to the next level.

The B16? was first introduced in 1953 and is made specifically for a Telecaster?. It has more range than a typical Bigsby and with a floating bridge and the bridge pickup housed in the assembly, it creates a distinctive look and feel for your Telecaster. This vibrato ships with an aluminum floating Sorkin bridge that is compensated for a wound 3rd string but a plain 3rd string bridge or saddle is available. The included aluminum neck shim adds the perfect height (3/16?) and pitch angle for the neck to work with the floating bridge.

- Floating Sorkin bridge with 12? radius
