Bigsby Handle Assembly Merle Travis Gold

Gold Merle Travis Bigsby Handle for Expressive Vibrato Control

The Bigsby Handle Assembly Merle Travis in Gold is a genuine Bigsby replacement part for restoring or upgrading compatible vibrato systems. It is made for players and repairers who want the distinctive Merle Travis “coat hanger” vibrato handle design with genuine Bigsby feel and performance.

This swing-away vibrato handle assembly fits most original Bigsby vibratos and Kalamazoo Series Bigsby vibratos. It is made from gold-plated stainless steel and includes a pre-installed hinge and set screw for installation.

The total length is 330 mm (12.99”), with a handle length of 325 mm (12.79”), giving the arm its extended Merle Travis shape for smooth access while playing.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this Bigsby handle assembly is best for players replacing worn vibrato hardware or upgrading a compatible Bigsby-equipped guitar with a genuine gold Merle Travis-style arm.
