Bigsby B7 Vibrato Tailpiece Polished Aluminium

Controlled Bigsby Movement for Archtop Solid Body and Semi-Hollow Guitars

The Bigsby B7 Vibrato Tailpiece in Polished Aluminium is made for players who want smooth, subtle pitch movement on archtop solid body and semi-hollow body guitars. Designed for guitars including the Gibson Les Paul Standard, Gibson Les Paul Custom and Gibson 335, the B7 combines elements of the B3 and B5 designs, with a tension bar that increases break angle over the bridge.

That tension bar helps suit guitar designs that need a firmer string path, giving players controlled vibrato movement for chord shimmer, melodic phrasing and expressive pitch variation. USA precision made low-friction needle bearings help the string mounting bar return accurately to pitch, making the B7 a practical choice for players who want Bigsby feel with dependable response.

The B7 uses a cast aluminium frame with a stainless steel handle. Mounting hardware is included, with spring, washer, screws and felt pads supplied. Installation uses six supplied screws, with two attaching to the guitar top and four near the strap button.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this tailpiece is best suited to players, guitar techs and luthiers fitting Bigsby vibrato to compatible solid body or semi-hollow guitars, with the low-friction bearings and tension bar being the key features for smooth movement and a stable break angle.
