Does anyone know anything about the BW guitar on Ebay? It has a nice look about it. The guy selling it seems to have a fair amount of info, but he is being a salesman at the same time (duh, he's selling it). I just wonder if it might be a real nice guitar by a small builder who never really got outside his region. Anyone have any thoughts?

The seller, Mike Black, is one of the most knowledgeable people on the planet about Bigsby guitars. If I could have, I'd have snatched this thing up in a second. This is not a homemade steel. Let me tell you, this is a steal.

Mike should have his name on his ebay postings----"Hi. I'm Mike Black".
I agree, the name Mike Black def carries weight. (disclosure: I am a satisfied buyer, years back). |

Thanks guys. I don't know Mr. black, but will take your word for his competence. I can't stop looking at that guitar, It's got somethin'...that would get me in serious hot water with the CFO. Seems that Lee Jeffriess may know this guitar, or one like it. I did some searching last night while I was awake until 3am.

Rick, if the guitar in question is Mike's T8 BW?, its a great guitar.
I have played it a couple of times, I would own it in a heartbeat.

I bet this is a great guitar. I have thought about snagging it up too, but I have enough guitars to play. I think the BIN is a steal as Mike said.
