Description
This is a genuine Gretsch Rocking Bar Bridge assembly for an arched top guitar. This assembly includes the bridge, base, and thumbscrews. It's designed for a Gretsch but may work with other brands as well. The Gretsch Bar Bridge is basically a straight bar the strings break across. It is common on '50s and '60s era Gretsch guitars and remains a favorite for many players. The Gretsch Bar Bridge works very well with a Bigsby and its larger mass and shallow break angle produces a smooth glassy tone with enhanced sustain. The updated version of the classic Gretsch Bar bridge features cone shaped post holes allowing the bar to "rock" back and forth when a Bigsby Vibrato is used.
