Bigsby sound clips,
I have one clip here and four more on my web site.
This is played on A 1951 triple neck Bigsby Ser. number 2-2-51.
The guitar was built for 16 year old Arnold Nelson, western swinger in Vancouver B.C.

It's too bad you can't hear this live because we really had to cut the quality down a lot to make it work on the web. The quality of this guitar still has a way of coming through.
Here's another sound clip ...
right now!

Bill, it's one of the three I have collected,it's first owner was Arnie Nelson.
My other two are doubles. One was Johnny Siebert's, the other belonged to someone named, "Sunny". I've never been able to find out who or where he/she is. This guitar is a wood neck exactly like the Bud Iaasac guitar now owned by Jack Hammond in Indianapolis.
If you'd like a Bigsby, they do come up for sale once in a while.
I've seen at least six on E-bay in the last two years. All seemed like great deals to me.

I was showing my discontent for the lack of attention I was getting from the camera man. He thought he was supposed to leave the camera on for the rest of the day it seems!
This was shot at six AM, so I'm happy it even came out at all.
Glad you saw it PaPa Joe, If that's all you found wrong with it,then I'm a fan of yours!

It's only common if you have put your hand in a industrial table saw like I did in '68.
I think it helped my playing, been thinking about modifying my right hand now,
but, wow, did it ever hurt! For a long time!
No, I won't be modifying my right hand, I hope.

Hey Bobbe:
Those clips are on my hard drive forever!!!! I notice that you played all of the Travis stuff on the middle neck. Please tell me the tuning of this neck. (you said the 5 on down are different on the three necks) I can kinda pick some Travis on a regular axe but would like to try it on the steel. (in the back room only, of course).
Thanks..........the Benster

Sounds great, Bobbe. Stuck your hand in a table saw? Yow... that's exactly what I was always afraid of doing, my first job was in my Dad's cabinet shop. I avoided the table saw but later stuck my left hand inbetween a '67 BSA Hornet 650 and a Datsun pickup truck instead. With age it's getting slower on guitar but still fine for steel, but I can't play like Bobbe...
Bobbe, I think I already know the answer to this question but want to ask you anyway cuz I might be wrong... I mean there's gotta be a first time, right?.... ha...
Is there any other steel guitar ever built or being built now that sounds very much like a Bigsby?
Could one be built with the Bigsby sound today? Ruling out the guitars by Paul Warnik built from genuine Bigsby NOS parts...<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Jim Phelps on 15 January 2006 at 09:20 PM.]</p></FONT>

If you think that's good, go to Steel Players Section and check this out. He's "THE MAN."
