This Les Paul C Bigsby is a serious instrument – the combination of the maple top, mahogany body, and those Custombuckers gives it a really thick, warm, and articulate voice. It's built like a tank with gorgeous binding work and that R9 neck profile is just sublime. Ideal for players craving a vintage-inspired tone with a touch of tremolo flair.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Bigsby's vibration dampening can subtly reduce sustain, but the overall impact is minimal, especially with a well-set-up tremolo.
They're a bit more prone to hum than potted pickups, but the noise is generally manageable with proper grounding and shielding; it's part of their character.
The R9 is a more modern take, thinner than a traditional '50s neck, but still retains a comfortable, vintage-inspired feel with a slight 'V' shape.
