“B 4 You Get Your Tele®
Make Sure You Get Your B5.”
Says Bigsby user Tom Pervanje. “It’s a 1990s B5 mounted on a 2005 Fender® Telecaster®. Installation
was simple!” The Bigsby B5 and B50 models are designed for all flat top solidbody electric guitars.
Our specially designed Bridge and Bridge Plate enables a perfect fit for Teles. Bigsby. True Vibrato.

It’s vibe, it’s attitude... It’s the little something “extra” that turns a good song into a classic.
It’s everything you need; nothing more, nothing less. It’s a Bigsby®.
When something is THIS important, only the Real Deal will do.
Bigsby.® True Vibrato.
It’s expression. It’s attitude. It’s that something “extra” that transforms
a good song into a classic. It’s everything you need – It’s a Bigsby®.
Just ask Bigsby user Steve “Twang is the Thang” Litvak, from Rochester New York’s
“The Tombstone Hands”. Steve took us up, and showed us HIS Bigsby...

When Paul Bigsby decided to make a better Vibrato in 1946, he didn’t know that he was introducing
an iconic symbol of cool - he just wanted to fix the problems of vibrato bars that existed at that time.
Since then, Bigsby has been adding it’s unique brand of hipness, vibe, and flat out cool to the
World’s Best Guitars.
Isn’t it time to add some “Vibe” to YOURS?
