Everything you need to fit a Bigsby True Vibrato to your Fender Telecaster. Kit includes: Bigsby Tailpiece, screws, tension spring, plastic washer, alignment string, bridge, bridge bushings, bridge plate, and installation Instructions.

Los Angeles. Late 1940s. A love of motorcycles brings together genius engineer Paul Bigsby and music legend Merle Travis. Their friendship inspired Paul to create the first Bigsby True Vibrato Tailpiece. He went on to design a series of Vibratos that rocked the music world. Still the original. Hand Crafted. Sand Cast. Hand Polished. The same way Paul did.

Fender and Telecaster are Trademarks of FMIC.

    i have taken this bridge to a luthier who is building a custom Tele for me. He was excited when he saw it and said it was a great find when I told him what I paid for this B5 Trem bridge at G.C.

    I gave a few guitars that I have added a Bigsby to. This time I decided to add one to my Cherry burst Telecaster Deluxe. As with my other "bigsby-enhanced" guitars, I wasn't dissapointed. The feel and looks match the tele. HOWEVER,, if your going to add a bigsby to any guitar, please make sure you have measured the height of the tail piece inside your case or you will be buying a different case.

  • AWESOME TAILPIECE!

    I have this installed on my telecaster and it really is awesome. It was very easy to install and has given my telecaster a very nice tone. I recomend that if you have a telecaster buy this.
