Bigsby Handle Assembly Merle Travis Stainless

Merle Travis Bigsby Handle for Long-Reach Vibrato Control

The Bigsby Handle Assembly Merle Travis in Stainless is a genuine Bigsby replacement part for compatible vibrato systems. It is suited to players and repairers restoring or upgrading a Bigsby-equipped guitar with the distinctive Merle Travis “coat hanger” handle design.

This swing-away vibrato handle assembly fits most original Bigsby vibratos and Kalamazoo Series Bigsby vibratos. It is made from 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 shape for smooth access and expressive vibrato movement 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 system with a genuine Merle Travis-style arm.
