STANDARD GUITAR SPECIFICATIONS
Bigsby Electric standard guitars are STRICTLY electric. Body is only two inches thick, thus eliminating any acoustic feed back so common in acoustic guitars which have been made over into electric guitars.

HEAD
The head is a revolutionary design with all tuning keys on the same side. Merle Travis is responsible for this design and it has many advantages. 1st, all keys turn the same direction to raise the pitch of a string. 2nd, all strings are perfectly straight from the tail piece to the tuning key. 3rd, more even tension is applied to all strings.

PICKUPS
Bigsby standard pickup with adjustable screw for each string. Pickup itself is also adjustable. Standard guitars can be furnished with either one or two pickups as desired and if only one is used it may be placed in either position.

CONSTRUCTION
Bigsby Standard guitars are made entirely of bird's eye maple with piano finish. The fingerboard is of rosewood and the bridge and nut are both metal. The neck of the guitar is one piece all the way from the head clear through to the tail piece with the body built around the neck. Bigsby electric standard guitar bodies are NOT solid, but are fabricated similar to a conventional guitar body, and neck is guaranteed not to bow or twist. Bigsby Standard Guitar necks have a new design adjusting bar which makes it possible to keep the neck perfectly true. All standards are cutaway models and the 20th. fret is as accessible as the first with the thumb around the neck. Weight complete in case 20 1/2 pounds. Guitar only with two pickups 6 1/2 lbs.
