Howdy y'all...

Quick question, will a tele equipped with a bigsby fit in a regular G & G style vintage case or the new Am. Std cases? Was just curious... thanks, JamGuy

Well here a a link to 2 places the first one had some people who found ways to fit it and the second tells you what happens if you put in in the G & G case and the standard case.So read through them if you want :)

2 people posted this from the second link

"I have a bigsby on my MIJ 62 Tele Custom. I bought a G & G case and have been keeping the guitar in it for a month. It presses on the bigsby but I feel that eventually the case padding will mold/break-in to fit it."


and the standard case

"So what if it puts a little pressure on it? I've kept a Tele with a Bigsby in the standard case for weeks at a time and it's done no harm."


Your best bet is probably asking someone at a guitar store though because I assume you're not the first with this question :) that is all the help I could give wish i could help more but I figured some help is better that none :D

JamGuy,

I store my Bigsby Tele in both cases. If you rotate the Bigsby lever so it sits parallel to the guitar (up and down) it fits just fine. It will put a little downward pressure on the arm when you close the lid, but in the 12/6 position it won't be pressing on the guitar body.

I've stored my Bigsby Tele this way for several years and there's not even the slightest hint of a problem.

Thanks for the info...I just didn't know if it would fit or not, sounds like it does. Good news. Thanks again!
