I have a Bigsby on an Epiphone Swingster and I find it really comfortable to use, but I think that is because 1) it has the wired handle and 2) it's a deep body guitar and to the angle is different to when installed on a solid body (in terms of the arm using it...) I would love to compare the Core with the S2 and then the SE just to see what tonal differences there are...I have an S2 Starla - when I was in the hunt for a Starla I was looking for either Core or S2, it didn't matter to me which (SE wasn't out yet), because I didn't think the core offered "much" different from the S2 - they have slightly different Bigsbys, but not being a Bigsby expert I knew it wouldn't matter to me. Pickups are supposedly a bit different too (the S2 are "import" pups, but still very different from the usual import HBs of course), but the S2's pups are gnarly enough.
I like mine, though I do occasionally wonder why Bigsbys have that hard counter-clockwise stop right there that isn't quite where I normally hold a trem bar.
