My apologies Speedy!! I just saw your comment and realized I never closed this thread. I was fortunately able to hang on to this one. Thank you anyway and best of luck.

Price drop on this PA Reissue. $4300 obo.
Thank you James; I believe the string spacing is consistent with most Bigsby steels..

Correction, 11/32” at the bridge. Weighs about 56 lbs. in the case.

Too kind, Mr. Alderink, too kind! Though I do think this is one of today’s finest guitars! I appreciate the kind words, thank you.
I’ve had a few questions about the guitar’s specs; scale is 24.5”, string spacing is about 3/8” at the bridge and 1/4” at the nut.

Beautiful early-2000's Bigsby copy, built by Paul Warnik and Dave Peterson. I've owned it for about a year but need to let it go. Excellent workmanship and condition, and the pickups are outstanding.

Thanks, Billy! I guess I oughtta remember to do that myself now that I'm a member of this fine network... One more thing, it's an all-ages show, so bring the babies!(Or the folks...)

Thank you guys for the kindly remarks. Ouch, this darn hat.. Olaf, glad you like the Lucky Stars cd's. Like Rusty said, we're working on the next one at breakneck speed! Tim, maybe we can get you to write our press release! And as for you, Peabody, you're much too kind! When's your next tour of the ...
