hey,
i’m preparing to install the bigsby, b-16, on a telecaster USA deluxe (b-16 is the one i need right?). and to resolve the bigsby’s defective detuning problem – ?
i was talking to a guy the other day and he told me: "I had a Bigsby installed on an SG that I had a Tune-o-matic bridge installed on that originally had a Bigsby on it that wouldn’t stay in tune at all. The installer said it’s all in carving the nut out enough to let the strings move freely."What do you think about this comment? and what about the combination of changing to Shaller locking tuners, a shaller rolling nut, and a tune-o-matic or shaller bridge with the bigsby? would i run into any problems. ( i prefer .10-.46 sized strings. i don’t know if this would be a factor, would it?) do you think it would still go out of tune???
if so what would be the best combination or other option???thank you very much for your time,
ericPS is there a shaller rolling bridge made for telecasters? and also would you happen to know anyone who could do this in LA, cali.?
thanks again.
