Bigsby B6?

[Greenstone]

Which Bigsby did Guild mount on 60's Starfires alternatively to the Guildsby? Is the correct model a B6? I see on the description on their website this is a model for larger archtops, just wondering if the 3 screw hinge area would line up since Starfires are thin hollowbodies. Thanks for any info.

Hi Greenie. Welcome.

I'd say to get a copy of The Guild Guitar Book by Hans Moust. It explains all of this.

What's on Starfire III's is the same thing as a B6, only it has the Guild logo, and lip on the hinge that it attaches to the guitar with is shorter, so it fits on a thinline.

Bigsby's own explanation on their website is confusing more than anything else.

Different hinge, I figured as much. Thanks for the info.
