Bigsby B3 Gretsch Branded Vibrato Tailpiece Polished Aluminium

Polished Gretsch-Branded Bigsby B3 for Softer Vibrato Feel

The Bigsby B3 Gretsch Branded Vibrato Tailpiece in Polished Aluminium is a genuine Bigsby vibrato made for compatible thin archtop and carved-top solid body guitars. It adds classic Gretsch-branded style with the smooth, expressive pitch movement players expect from a true Bigsby system.

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 B3 is featured on many Pro Series Gretsch guitars.

With no tension bar, the B3 creates a shallower break angle over the bridge, giving the strings a softer feel for subtle vibrato, gentle dips and fluid chord movement. It features a cast aluminium frame, stainless steel handle and USA precision-made low-friction needle bearings. Mounting hardware is included, including spring, washer, screws and felt pads.

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