Members mrbrown49 Posted September 16, 2008 Members Share Posted September 16, 2008 I don't have a casino, but I play bigsby's. You just need to maintain the bridge and nut well to have good tuning stability. Make sure the slots are filed right, and throw a little graphite in there. Also turning the spring so the end of the spring wire is facing away from the bridge will help reduce creaking and clicking sounds. Congrats. casino's with bigsbys are sweet guitars.

Members Glenn F Posted September 21, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 Thanks! Anyone else have any experience with these beasties? Mine is scheduled to arrive at the end of October. I don't know if I would rather have an Elitist without the Bigsby, or the MIC Bigsby model. I'll have 30 days to make up my mind, I guess.

Members Mandooks Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 The bigsby holds tune really well. I guess it's all in the set-up. I actually just gigged with it over the weekend and I used it for 8 songs out of a ten song set without having to retune it. Mine creaks a little bit but I wasn't aware of the this "turning the spring so the end of the spring wire is facing away from the bridge will help reduce creaking and clicking sounds" and It's not audible through my amp. It's a great guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Glenn F Posted September 21, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 That looks absolutely gorgeous! How old is it? MIC, or MIK? Cheers, Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrbrown49 Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 That looks absolutely gorgeous! How old is it? MIC, or MIK? Cheers, Glenn I agree. That is one fine looking instrument. Bigsbys tend to perform really well on this type of guitar (in terms of tuning stability) because of the less severe break angle over the bridge. Much better than that type of trem on a les paul sized instrument in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
