For those who may not know - Bigbsy is considered the Father of the Modern Electric Solidbody Guitar
"Bigbsy made the first modern solidbody electric for musician Merle Travis, completing the instrument in May 1948. Nothing like it had been seen before. Every electric guitarist today should be grateful that Paul Bisgby did what he did back then. He changed the look and sound of the guitar forever."-quote from upcoming book about Paul Bigsby who designed and developed a revolutionary guitar vibrato that is still considered by many as the best type ever built-the Bigsby True Vibrato.
