7:43 Tech talk. Tuners.

A Gretsch is not a Gretsch without a tremolo, be it a Bigsby, or a Duesenberg, or something like a Göldo! Also many of us prefer to have locking tuners on their Bigsby equipped guitars. Well, I've installed them both, a tremolo system (Göldo LT2) and locking tuners (Gotoh SD-90-MGTN). Both were direct drop in, the whole mod took me just 45 minutes. Did it, apart from its obvious function, affect tone or sustain? I believe it did, but let YOUR ears decide!
As a usual tech talk in the end, we'll discuss how to choose the right Bigsby and the right tuners for your guitar.
