What brand of strings do you use? I wonder cause of the red cloth aroud the strings.

@bkindels I think those are Thomastick Swing Series flatwound 11s, but I'm not 100% positive. Its been a while since I made the video and owned the guitar.

Excellent playing! You have the Grady Martin style mastered! Is there any chance you would do a quick video and break down this intro to Baby Blues Eyes youre playing so others (including myself) can learn how to play it like Grady instead of the typical Setzer version that everyone does? I was able to figure most of it out from watching you play but when you move down the neck you lost me. Thanks in advance.

Sure, I'll do that. I'll try to get to it this week and send you the link.

Wow, I feel ignorant, but I had no idea that Bigsby guitars existed. Cool video.

If this is a protype, who made it? Paul A. died a long time ago.

Some say that Paul Bigsby was the true father of the solid body electric guitar. He was drinking buddies with Les Paul and Leo Fender…
