Description/Spec Sheet:
Rock luminaries Billy F Gibbons and Bo Diddley have joined forces to bring you a 21st-century version of the elusive Gretsch® Jupiter Thunderbird now dubbed the Billy-Bo which was designed in '59 by the talented Bo Diddley himself!
"Some time ago, Bo gave me the guitar as a gift. It was during the recent ZZ Top recordings, when the engineering crew and I snaked through the guitar vault searching for that certain-something guitar, and there it was! We didn't risk subjecting such a rare instrument to the rigors of the road. So this new reproduction model was recreated with some BFG mojo thrown in for good measure. It's now the main stage guitar with a groove." - Billy F Gibbons.
This is a Gretsch Special Run of 16 guitars in the Western Orange color scheme made exclusively for Fuller's Guitar in 2022. Included in the case is a certificate of authenticity, gold strap locks, case keys, Gretsch OK card, warranty card.

They dropped the ball. You need a roller bridge with a whammy bar.

@darwinsaye 8 месяцев назад

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.

@tenlittleindians 8 месяцев назад

@@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.
