Will a roller bridge work with a Bigsby

[Rod_Evans]

Anyone know if these two will work correctly?
Some people say that you should get the Bigsby bridge with the tailpiece. I have ordered a c58 and a b5 with it (when it comes), do I need a bridge too?

Rod;
The bridge that comes on the C58 will indeed work with the Bigsby. Most folks add the Bigsby (Sorkin) bridge to make it more closely resemble John's. The 325V59 came with the Bigsby and the roller bridge and worked well together.

Did the 325v59 always come with a roller bridge?

I had not heard that before, and my 325v59 has the "standard" bridge, not roller. Now I did buy mine "previously owned" (though in near-mint condition) so it is at least possible something had gotten switched... But I don't think that's likely. (It still has the USA sticker on the pickguard...)

The 325v59 never came with a roller bridge. It came with the standard bridge as you described. However...the roller bridge is being re-created for the C series 325's.

Gentlemen;

I stand corrected whenI said that a 'V-59' came with a 'roller bridge'. Sometimes my head is thinking about one thing while my fingers are thinking about something else! My appologies for any confusion!
