Show your SC-J Thinline!

Yep, I see those Bigsbys on those PRSes. That doesn't make it right!

Should I take mine off?









uh………….no.

 

[Proteus]

I don't think I would, no. I would get a cast-aluminum handle for it, though, to lose less wiggle in the flexing of the butterknife. And I'd probably put a Tru-Arc bridge on it.

Any idea how many PRS guitars are out there with Bigsbys on them?

Some S2 Starlas. I had a frost blue one I traded to Howard Leese.

OK then. Velly intellesting.

Dunno, but I have a few

Bigsby's

Are they available in 10" radius or just 9.5 and 12?

 

[Rhythmisking]

That, and I no longer require a Bigsby on a guitar, because I have Game Changer Audio's fabulous Bigsby on the floor.

Wow, never seen that before. It looks WAAAAY cool! You've actually used one, Proteus?

We can do 10.

I"ve been a fan of everything Gamechanger does - always a seemingly daft and laughingly camp-concept idea, then brilliant engineering and exquisite implementation. I pre-ordered the day it was announced, and yep, I have one.

In its just-emulate-a-Bigsby mode, it's dead-on in behavior and very hard to distinguish from the real thing; if you're listening for it, in a solo guitar setting, you can sometimes hear the transition from standard pitch to the pedal's pitch-bent sample. But only sometimes, and after the brief (ms-length) transition, the tone is all your own. The only difference is that your guitar always stays in tune. And in a band context, you'd never hear that slight slur of transition.

Then there's all the other stuff it does: pitch bends up to an octave, up or down, a cyclical vibrato courtesy of a built-in LFO, and the ability to blend the pitch-bent signal with clean signal for subtle dissonances (or, with the vibrato going, a chorus variable by pedal).

You go through a period of adjustment where you cautiously check your guitar's tuning after any move you know would throw it out with a regular Bigsby - then you remember the pedal never touches the string and start whammificabigsbating with abandon. And you never have to think "wish that guitar had a Bigsby" again. Bigsby your 12-string Ric, Bigsby your bass, Bigsby your eeeelectric mandolin, Bigsby everything.

TWSS! So wrong, in so many ways.

Went to their website; their sustain pedal seems really cool as well. The idea of incorporating a 'physical' feeling/looking pedal into a....pedal (?) as they have with these two pedals seems brilliant in that there's a fmiliarity and a feedback that I would think will tend to make the pedals feel more like part of the instrument and the playing experience.

 

[Proteus]

Yessir. The first GCA pedal I got was the Plus Pedal; it's an integral part of my big rig now - with its own parallel signal chain w/effects (mostly to get stereo dimension from its drones).

Here are some SC-J Thinline production photos. I took these in the PRS factory during the 2008 PRS Experience (September 19th & 20th). The sheer size of the SC-J juxtaposed a standard PRS cracks me up.

Hank size!

So good to see that it was getting its f-holes sealed.

And on a serious note, great share Hans. Thanks for taking the time to upload all of these great shots.

Hi! New here so I guess I can’t post links to pics? Anyway, I own one and it looks just like the first pic love it. I’m also small so having such a large guitar is a hoot. But man does it play. Far more guitar than I deserve, for sure. What does sc-j stand for?

thanks all.

If I had to guess it means “Singlecut-jumbo” but that’s just a guess based on their naming syntax.

In the words of the great Homer Simpson - “D’OH!”

Thanks. It’s truly a lovely instrument. I’m a life long bassist. YEs, played a little guitar as well, but the guitar has been taking over of late.

You sure don’t need forensics to spot Joe Knaggs’ influence, do you?
