Bigsby tips


Perhaps not the forum to post questions about the archaic yet oh so asthetically pleasing bigsby but what the hell, I'll give it a shot. I'm getting some creaking when I use the arm. Any way to quiet that down? Tuning is actually really pretty stable. Any other tips/tricks for getting the most out of it?

Re: Bigsby tips


I would loosen the strings and check to see that the spring is seated properly. If you still have problems put a tiny bit of lite oil on the arm where it pivots to stop the creaking noise.
