NGD Starla!

[Aaron Robinson]

Just drove to Nashville and picked up a Starla. Sounds great! Only issue is I've set it up and greased up the nut and bridge and it's not staying in perfect tune how I like my bigsbies to be.

What would be the direct roller bridge replacement for this?

If the guitar is near new, OR someone may have upped the string gauge... I'd put a set 10's on it, and work the nut. Depress the trem repeatedly to work it in. Other than that...enjoy. Great guitars, and pickups.

My same experience. Love the guitar, but the Bigsby seems a bit stiff. I think Bill’s suggestion to break it in has merit.

Reverend Guitars offer a direct replacement spring that's softer than the stock Bigsby making it easier to wiggle. Might be worth checking out.

It's used. I ended up filing the saddle down a little and it helped. Still not perfect. May need to file the nut slots a little. And get a reverend squishy spring for sure!!
