I just picked this up Thursday, and I haven't had a chance to get is set up proper yet,
but I'm working on it.
It does have some weird replacement wood bridge instead of the stock.
Other than the bridge, it seems to be stock.
Since the pickups look to be stock, but I'd like to know what Gibson
was using at that time. I couldn't find any info it.
I put a fresh set of 10's on it to see how this non-compensated bridge
would perform, and it just doesn't cut it.
I still got to hear the pickups, and they are loud,punchy,and a little
on the bright side. They do have a lot of bite compared to some of
my other guitars on the same amp setting.
Any suggestions on what replacement bridge I should get?
Should I get a roller bridge that would work better with the Bigsby?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
