According to one of the archived posts, Chuck Gillette sold this for $500. another person who owned it at one time was complaining about it. Be interesting to see what it sells for.

So will I, Bill.  If I had the funds, it would be mine. I would love to have Ross at Sierra guitars go over it and fix any problems. Its a,piece if our history at a amazing price. I do not have the expertise nor the money to take it on. Wanted the forum to know about it. CAA

Erv,
In case you weren't joking, you found the right one. The price dropped $1,500, it was originally listed at $16k and change.

Nice Bigsby and from what I hear it is a good sounding and playing one too.
I'd think one of the collectors will soon own it.
That fellow playing it looks like a young Ronald Regan.

| I have fond memories of sitting in Chuck Gillete's studio in Tucson. I was 14 years old with a Fender 400. Chuck played that Bigsby through a fender Bassman.He convinced my parents I was playing too well to stick with that Fender so we went to Phoenix to the ZB factory and they had repossesed a D-11 with 10 pedals and 6 knee levers (another whole story)- I have it to this day. After he played all those strings and pedals on mine, he upgraded to a Sho-Bud and he did offer me the bigsby for $500.00. Wish I'd bought it then. It is one of the cherry bodied bigsby's. I have 2 - both maple and a heck of a lot more expensive! but Chuck played that guitar often with Merle Travis back in CA in the day. Hope it finds a good home! |
