With a Bigsby no less!! Congrats Krysh, nice!
yeah, finally, walter.

I know it was dicussed before, but just can't find it.
what is the best possibility to fix the bridge, so it doesn't slide, and what difference will a rosewood bridge make soundwise - if possible and useful with a bigsby?
thanks and sorry for repeating this question.

Some double stick tape should work (I've used those little squares they sell to put pictures in an album, they're sticky and very thin), and violin bow rosin works too.

A bridge made entirely of wood will work with a Bigsby, but if you use the bigsby a lot, it'll wear out a little faster than usual. A rosewood base will sound a little fatter than the metal one.

I'll be in as soon as I buy FNG's X-160. Waitin' on a VA check and then it's mine! Know anybody who wants to buy a late model Gibson SG?

Cheers!

Don

A clearly inferior guitar bought in a fit of emotion. That said it's not a bad axe. I hate to admit it but it actually plays better than the '68 SG I sold for traveling cash when I went into the Air Force in 1986. :(

It will make someone a fine guitar and this one I intend to place in a good home. If I can't I'll keep it as it does play really well.
