Bigsby B60 Licenced Bigsby Vibrato Tailpiece Polished Aluminium

Softer Bigsby Feel for Larger Archtop Guitars

The Bigsby B60 Licensed Bigsby Vibrato Tailpiece in Polished Aluminium is designed for larger archtop guitars that suit a longer, strap-button-mounted vibrato layout. Based on the original B6, the B60 does not use a tension bar, which creates a shallower break angle over the bridge.

That shallower break angle gives the strings a softer feel under the fingers, making the B60 well suited to gentle chord shimmer, subtle vibrato on held notes and controlled pitch movement during melodic phrases. The cast aluminium frame provides the main tailpiece structure, while the stainless steel handle gives players a smooth point of control for adding expressive movement without a firmer, tension-bar response.

Mounting hardware is included, with spring, washer, screws and felt pads supplied. The B60 mounts with three supplied screws that attach near the strap button.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this tailpiece is best suited to players, repairers and luthiers fitting Bigsby-style vibrato to larger archtop guitars, with the tension-bar-free design giving softer string response for clean chords, sustained notes and restrained pitch movement.
