Bigsby B16 Tailpiece w/Bridge and Neck Shim, Polished Chrome, 006-3558-000

A Bigsby® equipped guitar will give you the expressive, fluid sound that only a true Bigsby vibrato can produce. The go-to choice for guitar players looking for unparalleled performance and vintage style, a Bigsby vibrato delivers smooth and accurate pitch changes, allowing you to create subtle vibrato effects. Its classic look and easy installation make it a popular choice for both guitarists and luthiers alike. Discover the Bigsby sound and take your playing to the next level.

The B16™ was first introduced in 1953 and is made specifically for a Telecaster®. It has more range than a typical Bigsby and with a floating bridge and the bridge pickup housed in the assembly, it creates a distinctive look and feel for your Telecaster. This vibrato ships with an aluminum floating Sorkin bridge that is compensated for a wound 3rd string but a plain 3rd string bridge or saddle is available. The included aluminum neck shim adds the perfect height (3/16”) and pitch angle for the neck to work with the floating bridge.
