Bigsby Steel's

Ian Campbell · From: Austin, Texas

If I wanted to find myself a 50's Bigsby triple 8 with pedals where would I look and how much would I be expecting to Pay ??
Also are there any particular problems to watch for on these steels??
I guess they're rare as i've never seen one for sale. Any leads would be appreciated.
Thanks

Ian,
This topic comes up about once a month. Expect to pay about 8-10,000 American, and good luck finding one! Steel Guitar Nashville may have one.

Ouch !!!
I did'nt realise they're so incredibly expensive. I don't have $8-$10 right now so I guess it'll have to wait a while. Next best suggestion anyone??

The earliest Sho-Buds(late 50's) seem to be the next best thing. Rare too, but much less money. Sound and look a lot like a Bigsby.

Get a Stringmaster(while you still can)and consider yourself lucky....

Hi Ian,
don't know much about the Bigsby, but there is a vintage gibson twin 8x8 on e-bay @

it should have the type of sound you're looking for.
