Description
Bigsby B16 Vibrato Tailpiece
A Bigsby equipped guitar delivers the expressive, fluid sound that only a true Bigsby vibrato can produce. The B16 model, first introduced in 1953, is designed specifically for Telecaster guitars. It offers a greater range of motion than typical Bigsby units and features a distinctive integrated bridge and pickup assembly for a unique look and feel. The included floating aluminum Sorkin bridge is compensated for a wound 3rd string, while a plain 3rd string saddle is available separately. An aluminum neck shim is also included to achieve the correct height and neck angle for optimal performance.

- Designed for Telecaster guitars

- Floating Sorkin bridge with 12" radius (plain 3rd string saddle available, PN 0062691000)
- Includes neck shim, spring, washer, screws, and felt pads
