Hey all you fanatical BIGSBY.......wanna-be owners.
Here's the perfect one for you.

Triple neck, 1950 model with two pedals, and much more to list here.

I have no interest in this guitar or eBay auction but I figured that there might be enough of you diehards out there that I owed it to YOU......to let you know of its availability.

You likely won't be able to beat the buy it now price.

If it sells at that price, it will raise some eyebrows, as well as other things.

The Bigsby turns exactly 60 years old on Monday.

If only that amp came with it I'd... still not be able to get it.

Some lucky SOB will be doing the happy dance around that awesome example.

Could somebody grab those auction pix and post them here so I can print them out? This task is beyond my feeble computer skills.

I wonder if this one was on the list of known Bigsby instruments...or is this a new find???

I still get a kick out of the ashtray option that PAB offered.

Mighty slick!!!

If I had won a lottery I most certainly would go for it!

It's been on the list all the time, although I've only seen photos with the apron on and didn't know how many pedals it had. :)

Not important but just curious...........

JUSSI.......by chance do you happen to know the serial number for that 1954 g'tar?

Being an early, early model, I was just curious where Paul's serial numbers might have started, at that time.

By the way, is it Daniel McKee that's always looking for one of those old fashioned pedal steels?

Wow, its beautiful. I see that it has sold. But for those who lust for something like this and can't afford a Bigsby, those Clinesmith guitars are sure tempting (and more affordable)!

Ray, what 1954 guitar you mean?? The Bob Tucker guitar is -50, the serial # should be 011150 if I understood item description correctly ( my previous info was that it's # 011550 ).

Mike, I assume you are referring to the e-bay description?
Ray, I believe after all those questions about classic pedal steels Mr McKee bought a classic-----Maverick!

What would have been funny is if the shipping wouldn't have been free. I think the seller should be able to cover shipping at that price.
