Gretsch guitar Repair Complete with Demo

[kssork]

i see youve got a bigsby there. can you tell me more or less what you think about em? wondering about putting one on a guitar. is it true about the tuning going off?

[davey4557]

@kssork

bigsby

requires heavy gauge strings

requires roller bridge

does not dive bomb

biggest mistake is light strings on a bigsby

it never works

these are 12 to 53 on the gretch

@davey4557 why cant you use light string with bigsbys?

[davey4557]

@crazytrashman123

it wont ever stay in tune

not enough tension

[MrJimmyB3]

Awesome fix, very impressive. How much did it cost to have all that done?

[davey4557]

@MrJimmyB3

I didn't charge much $350

I really don't do it for the money.

the guitar also belongs to a friend from work

So out of 4 knobs and 3 toggle switches, 1 knob is dead? Pretty good average in my book. Fine job man.

[davey4557]

@BarneyFife00

Without a replacement for the treble boost thing it is dead. It was never well received when they did work and most just removed the battery and never used it because it sounded like an ice pic in yer ear

LOL
