one of the nicest sounding guitars I've ever owned. I've never had trouble with the bigsby when it comes to going out of tune. The only bad thing i can say is changing the strings is a pain.

Guitar is well made. All the crap about it being undependable is bull. It's a faithful recreation of Fender's kinda lame implementation of a Bigsby on a guitar. That said ... once it's tweaked properly ... the guitar rocks. I ended up slightly shimming the neck. Once the bridge height and saddle adjustment was nailed down, I used a little thread locker (red) to keep the adjustment screws from moving. Make sure the bridge has a little room to rock back and forth when you use the Bigsby. Also be sure to set the action a little on the high side ... vintage radius will not allow action to be too low if you want to bend strings. Be sure you open up the nut so the strings have room to slide, and use a lubricant (nut sauce or the like) in the slots under the strings. I swapped out the electronics for USA stuff, and the pickups (originals aren't bad) with some vintage hand wounds. Also swapped the out the mint guard with a custom shop mother-of-toilet-seat one. The guitar is stunning to look at, stays in tune forever, and has tone for days. The guitar KILLS!

I really enjoy this guitar, it sounds and looks very nice. I have the sunburst. It is what you probably expect, Telecaster sound plus tremolo effect. Of the guitars that I own it has become my favorite solid body. That being said, it's not exactly road-worthy.

As others have commented, there are 2 sources of buzzing, the bigsby spring and the bridge, but these can be worked out. The bigsby spring was easy to fix. The first time I changed strings I took the bigsby spring out and ran a thin band of surgical tape around the outside of both ends of the spring, trimming off excess tape with an Xacto knife. Now it sits snugly in its socket. Then, on the bridge you have to make sure that all 12 height adjustment screws are screwed in snugly. Unfortunately this is sort of an ongoing process because the motion of the tremelo tends to loosen them over time.

Having worked through these 2 problems, there is no more buzzing on my guitar at all. But for the price I expected something a little more carefully thought out.

This guitar is amazing. I mean just wonderful. I play any type of rock with this. I love the bigsby that comes with it too. I recommend to anyone. But maybe not beginners. Especially good for classic rock.

This guitar is perfect, but I only wish it had a maple fret board. I have a Mexi Telecaster and an American Strat. (both with rosewood fret boards) All I want is another Tele and maybe a G & L Strat (If I have the spare $$$) Aside from that great guitar. I might change the bridge pickup, but other than that it's a keeper!
