This man buys guitars like shoes he has one for each occasion

Imagine if he drilled into the guitar by mistake while filming this

lol, glad to see i wasn't the only freaking out about the drill....i'd honestly just buy another guitar before i drilled into something, if i wanted a bigsby on my 335 i'd just sell what i had buy what i wanted....that said, a no drill bigsby is pretty cool! glad you didn't have to do that!

Am I the only one that had a minor heart attack when he grabbed the bridge screw by the thread... with the pliers 😬😬😬

Told my girlfriend I wanted to get a Vibramate. She did not take it well.

Did not know the "blueberry burst" finish was available on the 335. Gorgeous!

Quick note about tremolo vs vibrato: all whammy bars are vibrato bars. Vibrato is a variation in pitch, tremolo is a variation in volume Edit: didn’t mean to say speed.

When you dropped the screw in the guitar I almost died I was hurt so much

All tremolo's are vibratos, all tremolos are named wrong thanks to leo fender.

Everything: Awesome The sticker: Hideous

ACHTCHUALLY everything that people call "tremolo" on a guitar is vibrato, because it alters pitch. Tremolo alters volume.

Installing a guitar on my bigsby

I've always been a sucker for Bigsbys (I've always been a fan of Gretsches) and your 335 looks even more majestic with it installed

I just installed a Bigsby B7 on my Epiphone Les Paul using the vibramate. Piece of cake, and sounds great! I also installed a Schaller roller bridge to mitigate the tuning instability issues inherent with using a vibrato bar. Very pleased with the results. Thank God for the vibramate. That drill headed toward that gorgeous 335 was terrifying.

That's one of the prettiest guitars I've ever seen. That paint-job is incredible.

2:15 Welp that's never going back on anything again

0:50 to 1:40, maybe the most satisfiying guitar cleaning ever

To be honest Tyler, you really keep surprising me as for your guitar skills and style, really marvelous ☺️🤩

Absolutely gorgeous guitar. That Bigsby makes it even more beautiful. 😍

I got a Vibramate for Christmas so I could put a Bigsby on my Epiphone Dot. I also got a string spoiler, which is amazing. I put a slight dent in the finish when I put the wrong screw in at first, but it's under the Vibramate, so you can't see it. I will say you missed a good opportunity to switch to roller saddles.

I used a vibramate conversion thingie on my sg and it works great. However, in regards to the stringing hassle, Callaham makes a replacement cylinder piece that just uses holes instead of those prongs which makes stringing much easier and I think it looks better than the Vibramate alternative.

What a gorgeous guitar. Perfectly fits a bigsby!

6:30 + what a tone 😯 amazing guitar, i’m always impressed about ur gear and playing. Thanks!

Man, staying at home is really hitting you hard.

When he plays it clean, it reminds me of the weird tremolo guy in the guitar store stereotypes video

I like these laid back videos. I’d be happy to see more of it.

I came running into the comment section to try and warn this man to use a Vibramate. Lucky for me, he's one step ahead of me. I installed one a couple years back with one of the spoilers Tyler used, and I love how easy it was to install without having to take tools to my guitar. It's been a ton of fun. This really is a brilliant adapter.

You scared the shit out of me by moving that drill towards that beautiful Gibson

6:23 That moment you realize Tyler wears Air Force Ones😂🔥🔥🔥

This was a really well done video. Great job Tyler.

Great! Love your content bro, excellent production, great audio, good guitars, super nice narration, top quality, hope some day I can make content like yours. Big fan here!

Him: I don’t have a guitar with a bigsby Me: I don’t have a guitar

Vibrato is an effect that occurs when the value of the frequency is changed in rapid succession. Tremolo does not change frequency in rapid succession, but instead changes the tone's amplitude rapidly. Congrats on the bigsby. Looking forward to hearing it on your new album...

Love the new editing style!!

I need that song playing during the installation process. That was so cool sounding.

Reminds me of Gary Moore and Hank Marvin kind of put together, Nicely done tone man

Just be aware buddy that those Vibramates DO damage the finish - where the felt pads connect they will eat away/dull the finish. I had one on an SG for about 4 years and there are three very noticeable marks where the pads sat.

So glad you picked up the Vibramate String Spoiler. So many people don't know about these things and how they eliminate Bigsby re-stringing pain. I have Joe Bonamassa to thank: his Ltd Ed ES-355 Epiphone came with Bigsby factory fitted AND with Vibramate String Spoiler installed. Your Gibson looks and sounds great. Upgrading to locking Grovers would be the icing on the cake - faster, easier string changes and rock solid tuning stability.

The feedback at the end was beautiful. Thank you, tyguy

God that lick at 6:26 is so nice sounding, I had to sit down and just learn it on the spot. No idea how I'll use it, but it sounds great!

Dude the bigsby, and the non drill kit etc costs more than my guitar :D. Still I love my affinity telecaster.

Gotta factory-installed Bigsby Vibramate on my LP Classic Gold Top-LOVE IT!!!...Splendid, Tyler! Good choice-Good demo!!

All I want to see that guitar play is “earth angel” with all the good sounds from Back to the Future. Truly an amazing sound..

Telecasters + Bigsbys = ❤️🔥

This is so cool

That guitar is GORGEOUS! I was thinking of getting one that same color but not the hollow body.

Love your playing here, so good! Thanks for sharing this!

I actually thought you were gonna drill in the guitar and I was like, he's not THAT stupid. Is He?

Nice 335 and nice mod! Take care so... That bigsby could be addictive!! Just to clarify one of the most common mistakes in the world of the guitar: Tremolo: Amplitude oscillation of the signal. Vibration: Frequency oscillation of the singal. If you move the bar of a Fender bridge you are changing the tension of the strings, therefore the frequency at which they move ;) If you move the volume up and down you are changing the amplitude of the signal :D So: So, Fender guitars has a Vibrato bridge not a Tremolo bridge. You installed a Vibrato system not a Tremolo system. The floyd rose is a vibrato bridge as well, not a tremolo bridge. Fender did a mistake and named his bridge as a "tremolo bridge" and from then most of the people believes that is a "tremolo bridge" but it isn't. Something similar happened with the Marshall JTM45 with tremolo. On the back panel they wrote "Tremelo" and because he hasn't corrected it since, it's "tremelo" Cheers!

I am more into metal stuff and guitara but this piece is just gorgeous looking guitar omfg. Love the colors and how melancholic ir sounds.

Need this lol I'm lookin at throwin a bigsby on my epiphone LP

that sticker is basically like putting a fishing bumper sticker on a 2020 corvette

That guitar just looks and sounds even more amazing than it already did!😮

That sounds So nice. Great playing

Ever played a Duesenberg Starplayer TV? You'd love that "vibrato" system.

‘Grabs insert by the threads’ Me: cringes

Great mod - did this same job 6 months ago, couldn't be happier!

I think I have just seen my favourite guitar. Thank you for the video.

The Bigsby is not a tremolo. Its an entirely whole new world. Its an experience.

A little tip from a mechanic: if your bolt is stuck on the end of the tool you are using and you can't get it off, thread the bolt back in slightly and then wiggle the tool off of the bolt, then unthread the bolt by hand. This increases mental stability by a factor of 3 and saves you from throwing a lot of tools across the shop in anger.

Great video. Lots of good ideas/gadgets and excellent playing at the end.

Hi Tyler I think I have learnt more things from your channel than my school in Australia keep it up from Harry

Okay, I’m sure somebody mentioned this already, but I’m not reading through 500+ comments to find it. VIBRATO: Having to do with pitch changes. TREMOLO: Having to do with volume changes. Guitars do NOT have Tremolo Arms. Sheesh...

This video made me fall in love with 335's... SOOO Beautiful.

What a beautiful guitar. Wow its just amazing. Super cool

Im watching this again. Thats how satisfying the process is. Wish I had a jazz guitar to install bixby on

I died inside when he dropped the post into the body

FINALLY! To me, any kind of semihollow guitar without a bigsby or something similar, it looks kinda incomplete, so this pleases me way too much lol

Tyler! I was on instagram when I saw your add for this video. I had a bigger reaction watching this than when my mom started choking at dinner last night.

I really dig that fuzzy tone, wasn't expecting that guitar to sound like that.

No one: Thumbnail: 0.o

Tyler, How is the tuning stability after this mod????

Wow! I’m inspired. Thanks Tyler! You’re such a great inspiration! 🙌🏻🙏🏻 cheers!

That looks and sounds so good on that guitar

Does he even use half of those guitars often?

It honestly bothers me how tacky that "custom made" sticker is, but to each their own I guess...

THAT'S SO SICK MAN! perfect for neo soul and jazz!

nice custom dude. Your sound is awesome, i like your vidoes so much. Have a fun with your guitar and have a luck

Kids drop picks in acoustics, legends drop nail in f hole of guitar

love the no stairway to heaven poster 00:01

Congrats on 1 mill

Every time I see your 335 in any video, I fall in love with it even more.

Bigsby is perfect for a Rickenbacker or a Telecaster!

0:36 luckily a mosquito didn't bite you..

Please make a tutorial on how to take care of a guitar to keep it as long lasting as possible!! (Fretboard maintenance/cleaning, publishing the guitar, etc.) I would love this kind of content.

Dude thats awesome. Even the no drill attachable tremelos on amazon or wish are actually amazing. With good nut oiling on a weekly basis it sounds and hold tune great.

ThT scared me when u wented to drill it

I’ll give you a cookie if you upload everyday 😝

Please do more videos like this!!! I really enjoyed it!

I know that it's not the main highlight of this video, but SICK TONE dude!!!

PRS strings on a Gibson. Oh, Tyler, why.

who else wigged out when he was fumbling with hardware over his axe? easiest way to put big dings in it

I was about to cry if he touched that finish with a drill. That finish is the stuff of my dreams!

Congratulations for Reaching 1m!

i was planning to buy a bigsby but it's more expensive than my guitar lol

First! (in france)

Beautiful guitar, beautiful feature

Dang. That's a beautiful guitar. Good choice for the bigsby. I have a bigsby on my tele. Tons of fun

Not gonna lie... I cringed hard when you took those pliers to the threads of that one one bolt and then dropped it over the top of your guitar. Please tell me that was tongue in cheek like the "cleaning" segment?
