Penguin needs a Bigsby

  1. I have a Black Penguin which is calling out for a nice gold Bigsby. Can someone confirm the model number that fits the Penguin?

  2. I just put bigsby B3G on my black penguin, works great. The holes won't all line up from the original G tailpiece so you'll have to drill a few new holes on the back edge where the strap button is.

  3. I don't know, but I've got a gold B-6 that is available.

  4. Hey Randy, how much for the gold B-6?

  5. Thanks paperair. The B3G looks like the way to go. Any chance you could post a pic of the result.

  6. At some point I'll be adding a WP to the menagerie,and unless they make a Bigsby standard(or even optional) I'll be doing an installation,so I'm REAL interested in seeing some pics too.:D

  7. There optional but it'll be a CS with about a year wait...I tried to order one then did my own.

  8. I should have looked around a little more - there are several photos of White Penguins with the B3G in the Gretsch Gear section under Jets. That's good enough for me. Thanks for the info and when I get around the getting my BP done I will post a pic.

  9. Drill holes in the Bigsby instead!

  10. Lousy pic but this is the only one I can find right now. The original 'G' tailpiece has a much wider bracket than the bigsby bracket, so you have to drill new holes by the strap button but, they'll be covered up if you go back to the G tailpiece.
