Bigsby B3 Gretsch Branded Vibrato Tailpiece Gold

Gretsch-Branded Bigsby B3 for Softer Vintage Vibrato Feel

The Bigsby B3 Gretsch Branded Vibrato Tailpiece in Gold is a genuine Bigsby vibrato for compatible thin archtop and carved-top solid body guitars. It delivers the smooth, expressive pitch movement and vintage visual style that makes Bigsby hardware a classic choice for subtle vibrato work.

The B3 is commonly used with thin archtops measuring 38.1 mm to 57.2 mm (1-1/2” to 2-1/4”), as well as carved-top solid bodies, including some Gretsch Duo Jet models. This Gretsch-branded version is featured on many Pro Series Gretsch guitars.

Its lack of a tension bar creates a shallower break angle over the bridge, giving the strings a softer feel. It features a cast aluminium frame, stainless steel handle and USA precision-made low-friction needle bearings to help the string mounting bar return to pitch. Mounting hardware is included, including spring, washer, screws and felt pads.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this Bigsby is best for players upgrading a compatible Gretsch or carved-top guitar with gold hardware, classic branding and smooth vibrato response.
