Gretsch and Bigsby: A Timeless Combo
Few pairings in guitar music are as perfect as a Gretsch 6-string and a Bigsby vibrato — ask any player at Sweetwater. This Gretsch-stamped Bigsby B6 model homes in on that iconic pitch-dip expression, unparalleled feel and command, and deluxe old-school aesthetic, making it a resounding choice for professional performance. The B6 tailpiece has a longer design than its B3 sibling, ideally suited to larger archtop hollowbody models, like Gretsch’s 6120 series. Plus, it’s not only easy to install, but its pin-less string-through string bar and lack of a tension bar also hasten string changes while reducing the break angle at the bridge for a softer playing feel. Smooth, subtle, and ultra-precise, the B6 is a perfect pro-line upgrade for infusing your hollowbody with timeless vibrato expression.
