My white ja-15 - adding a bigsby

[Andrew Paul]

WOW! I hope you can provide us with a sound clip of that guitar with Bigsby on YouTube or Soundcloud. I'm sure I can speak for the forum that we would love to hear it!

Looks awesome!!

This rocks
You might try a reverend soft spring for the bigsby. I use this spring on all my bigsby’s.
Very cheap mod.

Oh wow, that looks indeed like it was supposed to be there!

I’ll check that out, the spring kinda baffled me at first . I figured it attached instead of just sitting in there. Stringing it up the first time was a little challenging !

Use a capo to secure the strings and a needle nose plier or similar to bend the string near the ball-end.

Killer!

Wow! Congratulations that’s stunning.

in my limited experience bixbys are clunky. Hopefully you like it.

I was afraid it would feel clunky but It really doesn’t . I think bigsby’s are better suited for bigger bodied guitar. With the arch top and size of the ja-15 , It doesn’t feel clunky . If it was a tele or something smaller I could see it . The only complaint is the old case doesn’t close with it on.
