Bigsby Mod

[Iceman101]

Just a little info for those of us who have PRS's with a Bigsby.
I just swapped the springs in my Bigsby's for Reverend Soft touch Springs. Something I should have done earlier. It's a cheap and simple mod. I can highly recommend this. The Bigsby's travel is much smoother now..
No need to post pictures because I've already posted the guitars earlier. https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/bigsbys.43511/#post-564181

This is great! Will they work on an import licensed Bigsby? I have a Bob Weir D'Angelico and the trem is super stiff. I'll have to check these out for sure.

Yes, easy swap. Just loosen the strings a bit. Pull up on the arm , swap the springs and retune. Done

Nice!

I have made this mod on all of my Bigsby loaded guitars and highly recommend it. It makes the trem much more responsive with modern day string gauges/tension.

Don’t forget about the Callaham Bigsby upgrades as well.

You had me at roller bridge… but that bridge has a 12” radius.
