Big Bad Bigsby B-Bender Bewilderment.
It may seem like overkill, but out of curiosity, has anyone ever installed a Bigsby on a b-bender? Is it even possible?

Yes.
That is if you're talking about the Bigsby Palm Pedal. Kind of a neat rig. I tried one out many years that was installed on a Gretsch and it worked pretty good. Bigsby quit making em some years ago, but it would appear they're back in that business. The cool thing I remember is there are two levers you can set up on any string you want. I have thought about putting one of these buggers on a guitar, but keep finding myself too occupied with old Parsons/White. Perhaps on an archtop in my future. Dave

Then there is Higgins Peg Bender that should work with Bigsby vibratos. Someone in Gretsch Pages Forum liked it in a 6120.

Bender and a tremolo
BTW, the tremolo doesn't affect the B string. You can bend the other 5 strings up or down and hold down a steady note on the B string.

Incoming bender ignorance.
Why is it normally used on the B string? particularly all that effort on on the rusty tele above? BTW is that Will Ray's guitar?
