Bigsby B50 Licenced Bigsby Vibrato Tailpiece Gold

Add Subtle Vibrato Control to Flat Top Solid Body Guitars

The Bigsby B50 Licensed Bigsby Vibrato Tailpiece in Gold is designed for flat top solid body guitars, giving players smooth, expressive pitch movement with a traditional Bigsby response. Based on the original B5 design, the B50 includes a tension bar to increase the break angle over the bridge, helping create a firmer string path on flatter guitar bodies.

This design suits players who want gentle vibrato movement for chord shimmer, melodic phrasing and expressive pitch variation rather than extreme pitch drops. The cast aluminium frame provides the main tailpiece structure, while the stainless steel handle gives a controlled point of contact for subtle movement during clean chord work, lead lines and atmospheric playing.

Mounting hardware is included, with spring, washer, screws and felt pads supplied. The B50 mounts with four supplied screws that attach directly to the guitar top.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this tailpiece is best suited to players, repairers and luthiers fitting Bigsby vibrato to flat top solid body guitars, with the tension bar being the key feature for achieving the required break angle over the bridge.
