Bigsby® Vibrato
The Bigsby® Vibrato was developed in the 1940s as one of the first tremolo systems. The vibrato itself consists of a base plate made of solid aluminum in which a rotatable steel shaft is mounted. The strings are wound around the steel shaft, to which the vibrato lever is also attached. If you move the vibrato lever, the strings are wound or unwound and the pitch changes according to the fluctuating string tension. The Bigsby vibrato allows slight fluctuations in pitch of around 1-2 semitones.
Locking Tuner
Locking tuners are specifically designed to increase tuning stability while making string changes easier. The main difference from traditional tuners is the way the strings are attached. With locking tuners, the string is not only wrapped around the mechanism, but also secured by a locking system. This system consists of a small clamping mechanism or screw that holds the string in place.
Set-Neck
A “set-neck” (glued-in) neck is a design that is characterized by its tonal and playing properties. In contrast to neck-body connections, where the neck is screwed, the set-neck neck is firmly glued to the guitar body. The fixed neck connection eliminates the need for screws and additional connection mechanisms, resulting in a more direct transmission of string vibrations to the body. The result is a powerful, resonant sound with longer sustain.
Ebony Fretboard
An ebony fretboard is characterized by a clear and precise tone quality. The dense structure of the wood allows the string vibrations to be efficiently transferred to the body, resulting in a balanced sound spectrum with clear highs and well-defined mids.
