It was an Edwards. :wink: :lol:

Brilliant guitars for the money---I'd jump all over an R8 if I could swing the money---but for 1/4 the price, I highly reccomend an Edwards to anybody. Best "relic" I've ever seen, especially on a Gibson-type.

Nice guitars indeed, are there monumental tuning issues with a Bigsby on a Les Paul?

Nope, not really. At least none that can be attributed to the Bigsby (and not ungreased tuners or unlubricated nut etc..)

I've always liked Bigsbys, but everything I've ever picked up fitted with one has gone well out of tune in a short period of time. Truth be told, I've never had much luck with anybodys trems staying in tune all that well, except for the double locking type. My Strat has those Phantom Guitar Works locking bridge saddles and Schaller locking tuners on it, but still needs some fine nut filing to make it perfect, as the B and E strings seem to get slightly hung up. Project#223 on the list :wink:
