I came so hard, this is exactly the body shape, style, and bridge setup I've been looking for for AGES.

Between this and that Italia Rimini doubleneck, I don't know which I'd rather have. I have a pretty severe hard-on for a 12-string and practicality isn't a problem for doublenecks, but I've always wanted a guitar that will feed back and you can still divebomb her.

Not a double-neck, but fucking gorgeous.

jeph:
dogg if you divebomb a Bigsby expect to spend the next ten minutes retuning

Patrick:
After retrofitting her with a graphite nut and locking tuners (a total of like what, $70?), the roller bridge should make it work without fault. Floyd Rose can suck it.

FireAarro:
Ehh, I dunno. My experience with Bigsbys hasn't been too positive, they give me tuning hell. I dislike their general feel as well, especially the clunky vibrato arm. Give me a Jazzmaster/Jaguar vibrato system anyday. That's what I calll smooth.

The design on the model you linked is a bit different from the standard Bigsby though- more roller gadgets, different positioning of spring, and the arm looks like it'd be more comfortable, so perhaps it's an improvement. Locking tuners and graphite nut will certainly help. If you're expecting divebombs though, the Bigsbys I've tried have a downward bend range of about two semitones.
