Not if your strings have a shallow break angle behind the bridge. I have zero tuning problems with the cheap Bigsby I put on my guitar set up like that.
@@darwinsaye Any stationary bridge will suffer from strings moving back and forth through the slots under pressure. It's like dragging a round file across the metal. This is especially true when the saddles are made out of a soft metal such as aluminum or brass. The string windings are harder than either of those two metals. The harder metal always wins. How do you think they put those grooves in the saddle in the first place? And if your groove is slightly smaller than that new brand of strings individual diameters the strings will further resist sliding in the grooves from bends which results in the sticking string or two going out of tune.
@@tenlittleindians I’m just disputing your assertion that you NEED a roller bridge with a whammy bar. You missed the part where I offered my own actual experience to the contrary. Roller bridges, graphite nuts, locking tuners, etc., are all good if you have problems with a guitar, but they are not “needed” in every single case. Out of all the guitars that I’ve owned that had trem systems (of all various types - Strat, Bigsby, Jag, Tiesco, Steinberger) about half of them had zero tuning issues, absolutely stock. In fact one of the guitars that I currently own that *will* go out of tune if I even touch the whammy, *does* have a roller bridge.
@@darwinsaye Half of them by your personal experience then did! I flew lots of ultralights without any brakes on the wheels. We had multiple reasons why. I don't see any good reason why a company making guitars today would not put a roller bridge on a guitar designed with a tremolo. They don't cost that much more at the wholesale level and are no more work to install.
I think the last guitar is in my possession here in Norway now. I went to Nashville in 2017 and found it in a big guitarshop which had many amazing instruments. I tried many but none could match the deep tone and resonance of this guitar. I think I gave around 2500 bucks for it. The backside with the twin stripes looks identical to mine.
Whoever came up with this version has some seriously great taste. Love the silver sparkle binding on the lake placid blue with the contrast of the dark ebony board. The Bigsby V trem is icing on the cake. And these Billy Bo's look great with the Bigsby V trem. Moahhh, perfection.
Who is this Tom Anderson, Giving us this absolute withcraft to work with, take my money!!! How are these not "THE" most saught after guitars ever ? All this talk of fender acoustasonics, don't get me wrong I love fender guitars ,I love my strat, but acoustasonics don't touch this level of sound ,this is real not modeled, you can literally blend in your favorite acoustic sound then flick a switch and your Gary Moore ??? Looping heaven♥️
$19,999.00 ?? .... That sure looks like a lot of 9's there! Well, let's see here ... where is my Wolfram Math software? ... Great! I found it! ... OK, now ... If I assume that Riemann's Hypothesis is indeed true (and I'm pretty sure that it is) AND assuming that the proof of Goedel's Theorem is correct (I have always had my doubts!), we get ... Whoah!! Did I make a mistake here? ... Isn't that almost $20K? If my calculations are correct AND if Riemann was correct AND if Goedel was correct, then my calculations tell me the following: A dollar here, and a dollar there, and pretty soon we're talkin' real money!
