BigsbyB500 Licensed Tailpiece Aluminum
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bigsby’s aluminum B500 Licensed Tailpiece brings controllable vibrato to a flat-top solid-body guitar. Its design follows the original B5 format, with a tension bar that increases the string break angle at the bridge. The unit mounts directly to the guitar’s top with four screws, making the required mounting layout an important part of planning the installation. In use, it is intended for subtle vibrato and smooth pitch movement.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding subtle vibrato control to a flat-top solid-body guitar.
- Guitar builds or modifications with a four-screw top-mounting position.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars that are not flat-top solid-body designs.
- Installations where mounting four screws through the guitar top is unsuitable.
