BigsbyB5 Vibrato Tailpiece Gold
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Known as the Bigsby “horseshoe,” the gold B5 is a vibrato tailpiece made for flat-top solid-body guitars. Its tension bar increases the string break angle over the bridge, and the unit fastens to the guitar top with four screws. That makes the B5 a focused choice when the guitar and mounting approach match its design, giving the player access to smooth, accurate pitch changes for subtle vibrato effects.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Flat-top solid-body guitar projects that use a four-screw top-mounted vibrato tailpiece.
- Installations where a tension bar is needed to increase string break angle over the bridge.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
