Designed for larger hollowbody and archtop guitars, including Gretsch 6120-style instruments, the B6 uses a longer frame than the B3 and is featured on many Gretsch Pro Series guitars. Its pinless string-thru design simplifies string changes, while the absence of a tension bar creates a shallower break angle over the bridge for a softer string feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe B6 is designed for larger Gretsch hollowbody guitars and other compatible archtop instruments. Its extended frame provides the proportions needed for larger guitar bodies while maintaining the classic Bigsby appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUSA precision-made low-friction needle bearings help the string mounting bar move smoothly and accurately return to pitch, allowing players to create subtle vibrato and expressive pitch changes with a natural feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe string-thru design eliminates the traditional string-retaining pins on the string bar. Instead of hooking each ball end over a post, the strings pass directly through the bar, making restringing faster and easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the B6 does not use a tension bar, the strings cross the bridge at a shallower break angle. This produces a softer string feel while preserving the smooth response associated with the Bigsby design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe vibrato features a cast aluminum frame and stainless steel handle for a balance of durability, strength and traditional styling. Mounting hardware is included, including the spring, washer, screws and felt pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation uses three supplied screws that attach near the guitar's strap button.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Vibrato Tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModel: B6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBranding: Gretsch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesign: String-thru, pinless\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntended Use: Larger hollowbody and archtop guitars\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommon Application: Gretsch 6120-style guitars\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrame Material: Cast aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBearings: USA precision-made low-friction needle bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTension Bar: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMounting Method: Three supplied screws near strap button\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded Hardware: Spring, washer, screws and felt pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you should choose the Bigsby B6 Gretsch Branded String-Thru Vibrato Tailpiece\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bigsby B6 Gretsch Branded String-Thru Vibrato Tailpiece is an excellent choice for players who want classic Bigsby feel, vintage Gretsch styling and easier string changes on a larger hollowbody guitar.
