Frequently Asked Questions
The Bigsby dampens sustain slightly, but the overall impact is minimal; it adds a unique vibrato character without drastically altering the core tone.
It's a more modern, comfortable profile, thinner than many vintage Les Pauls, offering easier access to higher frets while retaining a classic feel.
Being unpotted, they can exhibit slightly more inherent hum, but Gibson's quality control usually includes effective shielding to minimize noise.
