BigsbyB5 Vibrato Tailpiece Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bigsby B5 is a black horseshoe vibrato tailpiece for flat-top solid-body guitars. It attaches to the guitar top with four screws and uses a tension bar to increase break angle over the bridge. In use, it is built for smooth, accurate pitch changes that support subtle vibrato. The B5 has vintage styling, and this design is common on guitars including the Gibson SG, Les Paul Special, Rickenbacker 325, and Fender Telecaster.
