I don't have a lot of experience with Bigsby-style vibratos, but I have played a few. Typically when I go to a store and try a Gretsch or something, the Bigsby will be very stiff. The guitar that I bought this for (DeArmond M75T) had a missing spring, and this fits great. It's super smooth to use.

I gave in to the marketing. Soft touch spring? That sounds nice. Once I clicked order I cursed myself for wasting money on something I didnt need. And while I still dont need it, these springs do exactly what they say. The stock spring on my bigsby equipped schecter was fine, but this is just smoother. Hard to describe exactly, because I was worried I'd have to redo my setup with a spring with a different tension. It didnt alter the setup, and it does just feel straight up softer. I like mine, and you probably will too.

I bought this spring to put in my Bigsby B5F kit. It works great. Tuning is pretty solid, and it's much more sensitive than the spring Bigsby included. Does what I need it to.

Awesome spring, still firm enough but softer, less stiff.

I changed all the stock springs in my electromatics they were too stiff, w/bigsbys the Reverend spring Also the vibramate for easier string changes is a necessity. These are availible at Sweetwater now.Just a lesson I've continued to learn about Gretsch Guitars

The stock spring on my Gibson Midtown's Bigsby felt stiff and placed the arm too close to the guitar. For years I avoiding using the vibrato and often wished I got the model without it installed. So glad I experimented with Reverend's spring. Never had $ make such a positive impact on an instrument. So much more musical now. Highly recommend this to anyone who is not liking their Bigsby.

I'll say this a much smoother feel and much more consistent that the stock spring that came in my Gretsch G5232t Electromatic Double Jet. I've used the stock spring and got used to the feel from actuating the bigsby arm to the small range of motion I typically use. Upon initial use, the tension is something you just get used to as it "works against you". With the Reverend, that feeling simply is not there or is drastically reduced and the tension is much more even from beginning to end. I don't dive on trems in general and use them to introduce some motion and texture and so with a mild range of motion the entire range is much more uniform and smooth with the Reverend spring. It does take some getting used after having used the stock spring for some time but it's a much better experience once you do get used to it.

If you have a Gretsch Electromatic with the B60 tremolo you need this spring. It improves the responsiveness of the vibrato significantly, and gives you much smoother motion and dive when you play. From a little wiggle to a deep dive you end up with a much more traditional sounding Bigsby. It does raise the arm slightly, but after removing the plastic washer in the spring pocket, it's not very noticeable. This is definitely an inexpensive, easy to do mod that will make your guitar more enjoyable and improve it's playability.

These soft springs are really nice. Very responsive and feel like a well broken in spring AAA++

I never quite liked the spring on my G5260T baritone. It seems very difficult to push the Bigsby tremolo. This Reverend spring is taller and much squishier - so much fun!

The bar on my Bigsby was too high with 10-46 strings and standard tuning. I didn't even need to take off the strings to install this - just slackened them off and swapped the spring out.

I put this on my Gretsch G2657T and couldn't be more pleased with it. Amazing little upgrade for such a low price. Now, it's a bit longer than the factory, but it's way softer. When you first put it on the arm will be way high, just trust the process and restring. The string tension will pull the arm right back down where it belongs.

Highly recommended.

I honestly expected this to be a tradeoff between tuning stability, range of motion of the vibrato arm and the easier, less pressure operation. I am happily wrong.

This spring increased my vibrato arm height (better range of motion), is not only easier to actuate, but retains a consistent feel throughout the range of motion and tuning is as stable, as with the original spring. No signs of the arm moving when I finger-bend strings and the guitar retained its wonderful sustain.

A remarkable difference, which I feel will turn my Casino's Bigsby from a novelty to a useful tool. If you are like me, you questioned spending $ on an alternative spring which costs $. My advice is, look past the price and go for the functionality!

Note this is replacing a supposedly already broken in vintage Bigsby spring, which I believe was designed for motorcycle value lifters. To which really fought back the farther you pressed on it.

The tremolo on my Gretsch Electromatic was difficult to use due to the stock spring tension. The soft touch spring solved all that, so much more control over the tremolo arm. Gretsch should make this spring a stock item on their Bigsby equipped guitars, if you purchase this for your Bigsby you won't be sorry, it's worth every penny.

Almost gave a bad review!! But this old mind did some thinking, and thought to graphite the nut and lubricate the vibrato. Now it works fine! Just had to add a spacer to get the correct tremolo height for me.

I had a Bigsby B7 put on my Gibson Les Paul Standard and, I'll admit... I was a little let down. I have a Japanese made Gretsch and the Bigsby on that is smoooth (three o's). The new Bigsby on my Gibson... It was like I basically had to go crazy on it to get very little out of it. This added a nice (soft) touch. It made it feel more like my Gretsch's Bigsby. A lot more responsive and I don't have to work it near as hard. A bonus is that it seems to stay in tune better too, and that's with using 9.5 gauge strings. (My LP's nut was cut very good from the factory and I use MusicNomad TuneIt on the saddles) So go for it!I absolutely recommend it. Good job Reverend.
