Bigsby or not to Bigsby a baritone tele.

Hi
I've lurked this forum for a long time and found it to be a valuable source of info.
My first tele project is actually going to be a baritone. I have an allparts neck on the way. From what I've gathered a bright wood such as ash or maple is the best choice for a baritone body but whether I will want string through routing or not is keeping me from orderng it.

Is a Bigsby a good idea? I'm concerned that the extra load put on it with the Baritone's heavy strings will be a problem. Has anyone here had experience with a Bigsby on a Baritone tele?

Thanks

Bueller?
Anybody seen a baritone tele with a bigsby?

Go for it! shouldn't be a problem if you are going B to B...

I havent seen a baritone tele with a bigsby, but im sure gretsch made a baritone with a bigsby.

I believe the Gretsch G6144 Spectra Sonic (TV Jones designed) is a baritone w/a Bigsby. I'm not sure, but I think Setzer used something like it on his "Ignition!" album.

You are correct sirs ............ the G6144 Spectra Sonic is a baratone...... 29 1/4 in. scale.

ooooh, i like the pink strat baritone lol. but wouldn't the string tension be similar to regular due to the extra scale length?

Put one on my Dano baritone. Go for it!

Hi

Those with the bigsby's. Do you get a decent string bend out of it with the larger/longer strings? I emailed WD about it and they seemed concerned about being able to bend the larger strings to string them through the trem bar

Yeah, stringing the Bigsby with a bari set of strings might be nightmarish.
