BigsbyB7 String-Thru Tailpiece Aluminum
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bigsby’s B7 combines a polished aluminum vibrato tailpiece with a string-thru loading design. The tension bar increases the break angle across the bridge, while the string-thru layout removes the traditional pins from the restringing process. It is designed for archtop solid-body and semi-hollow guitars, including Gibson Les Paul Standard/Custom and Gibson 335 models named for this unit. A practical choice when smoother string changes matter during setups or gig preparation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restringing an archtop solid-body or semi-hollow guitar without working around traditional tailpiece pins.
- Gig and luthier setups where quicker string changes save time.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who specifically want the traditional pinned string-loading arrangement.
