FireFly Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 it's that bad fire? Obviously your craftsmanship is professional! What I meant was that the photos probably don't do the finish any justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osorio Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I use a sony dsc p32 at shop, because of dust. The final pics I use an Nikon D60 with two studio flashes, maybe this show better the finish. Tks !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xadioriderx Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 you did a fantastic job. the bigsby just looks so out of place on the LP, i dont know why the lp shape is just so classy, in a very different way than the bigsby is classy in itself. what kind of dye do you use for the blue? or is it a tinted stain?

ScottR Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Very, very nice. The burst looks so good in these shots, I had to go back to see if I had already seen it or not. How do those phat cats sound compared to standard P-90s? SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osorio Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 tks Scott! the pics had no photoshop or other tratment, just picked from camera to post. Phat cats sounds a little fat than P90 and noiseless than too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdog Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Very nice !! I love the blueburst !! Congratulations !! Like FireFly said, that guitar is sexy ! The only thing I would change are the knobs, black would look better IMO. Bigsbys really look cool !! How's the tuning stability when using the trem ?

Osorio Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Tks BlackDog!!! I think that black knobs will fit better, but is the owners choice, what can I do? Cry I guess! heheeheh The owner says me that have to tuning 3 times, and now it's stable. Even using a roler bridge the tuning goes to space after two songs with moderate use of the tremolo. I ask a friend that have one bigsby with roler nut and bridge and the answer was the same: tuning goes to space! Dive bombs? Forget it!!

I ask a friend that have one bigsby with roler nut and bridge and the answer was the same: tuning goes to space! Dive bombs? Forget it!! Yes, I was afraid of that. I have a Gibson Historic 54 Les Paul Custom with the B7 Bigsby, and the tremolo is pretty much useless. Anything other than a gentle wobble and it goes out of tune, but this is with the standard ABR-1 Gibson bridge, a roller bridge should be at least a bit better... I plan to put a B7 in the ES355 I'm building, mostly for the looks. But between the tuning problems and the price of a gold plated Bigsby, I'm REALLY having second thoughts...

Osorio Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Black, even a roler bridge don't solve the problem. Minimize it. I put a harder spring than the original, all tremolo action gets harder too, but the tuning keep more stable. If the guitar was mine I do not put a bigsby, maybe a vibrola system for a vintage guitar or a kahler system to a modern model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterblastor Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 with a roller bridge wouldn't most of the tuning issues would be at the nut? Sorry for te noob question, bever had a bigsby. That is a beautifull guitar man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osorio Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Tks guys!! with a roller bridge wouldn't most of the tuning issues would be at the nut? Sorry for te noob question, bever had a bigsby.That is a beautifull guitar man! Master if the nut its well done and lubrificated (grafitti) I think that the problem remains with de tremolo, a simple bend get all gutiar untuned. Beautiful work, Osorio. Can you post a pic of the lighting setup you used for the latest pics? At the final pictures I use a Nikon D60 with two or three slave flashes. Th strongest flash pointed for the ceiling on a tripot to give an ambient ligth, other one weaker on a little tripot on the floor to give an fill ligth and the camera flash on the manual setup with minimum force as possible just do make the other one shot. The ambiente ligth I put behind and side me, the fill ligth I put on the opsite side the ambiente ligth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, that's a shame I was thinking of trying one on my next build. Do you think lubricating where the trem bar touches the strings would help at all?

plinky Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Awesome guitar, although I'd rather like to see it with a Floyd Rose on it instead of the Bigsby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
