slockrem Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I have to admit that I usually don't like the looks of a bigsby.....this just changed my mind. Looks incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clay-man Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 With the new Variax Standards coming out, are you going to use those since they're cheaper? Or do you just grab used JTVs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toasterdude Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hopefully I am pretty much done with xplants. I have a Billy Bo lap steel being painted and have a JTV 59 for the guts for maybe a starcaster with bigsby. Maybe in a few years when the yamahas are like 500 USD, I can do more. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how are you terminating the graphtech piezo wires to the PCB. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toasterdude Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 I have always paid to have the work done. My luthier/tech figured it all out. I may have a less hectic work schedule this year and may try to do more of this stuff myself. Even if just basic set ups and wiring. I have started buying the tools etc from stew mac. Hopefully I will have the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
