That's true, if you had a great tech in your corner they could keep any guitar in tune -- at least from one song to another. It seems like it would be an easy thing to do yourself, and some guys can, but after reading a lot of articles about professional techs and what they go through to keep a guitar in world-class operating form then you realize there's a whole art form to it that just escapes the average Joes like us.

If a Bigsby was a really great unit then we'd see them on lots of guitars but that's not the case at all. But put one on and find out for yourself. In fact, maybe they're a lot better than I remember them being or maybe they're making them better than they used to. I'd be interested in hearing your experiences with it.
