Bigsby B50 Tremolo Hardware. The Bigsby vibrato tailpiece (or Bigsby for short) is a type of mechanical vibrato device for electric guitar designed by Paul A. Bigsby. The device allows musicians to bend the pitch of notes or entire chords with their pick hand for various effects.
When music lover and motorcycle enthusiast Paul Bigsby said I can build anything, he wasn't kidding. In fact, that was his response to country-western guitarist Merle Travis in 1946 when Merle sketched up an idea for a guitar and asked Paul if he could make it. This led to the first Bigsby Solid Body electric guitar - unique in that all six of the tuning pegs were on one side of its headstock. While Bigsby guitars became quite popular throughout the music world in the '50s and '60s, it was his tremolo arm that gained him the most notoriety. Also known as a whammy bar or vibrato tailpiece, these devices allow guitarists to bend the pitch of notes and chords to create various effects.
