BigsbyB6 Branded Tailpiece with Wire Handle Gold
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The gold B6 is the longer B3-style Bigsby tailpiece for larger-bodied archtop guitars. Its length is intended to maintain the proper string angle on instruments in that format, while the wire handle provides the control point for gentle vibrato movement or more dramatic pitch sweeps. The description specifically identifies the Gretsch 6120 as an example of the larger archtop guitars this B6 is designed around.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Larger-bodied archtop guitar installations, including the Gretsch 6120 example named for the B6.
- Players using a wire-handle vibrato for gentle warble effects or broader pitch sweeps.
Consider the trade-offs
