Anyone who knows the story of Paul A. Bigsby, understands the massive impact he had on the development of the solidbody electric guitar. His own hand-made instruments were as much works of art as they were engineering achievements, as well as the genesis for what was about to happen in the music industry in the early 1950s. Ironically, Bigsby may well be most recognized in modern times as the inventor of a wonderful guitar accessory known as “The True Vibrato”. I’m currently satisfying my obsession with these devices through deep research. We’ll see what comes of that…!
