I have an electromatic. love the way it plays but i'm constantly having issues with the components. the bridge was constantly buzzing so I replaced it with one of the Tru-arc bridges and that helped. I do love it overall but it's made me want a more well made version

I am a Bigsby hata because my old bandmate's Washburn - a lovely guitar in most respects - never returned to tuning after using it. Like, never. Anything requiring the Bigsby had to go last in the set.
Coulda been faulty setup or whatever. And I know some people use them to good effect. But that bad experience put me off Bigsbys.
I had an Epiphone 339 that I liked a lot, but it was not really for me. Sold it to a friend, so I get to see it from time to time.
If I go that direction again, I will likely go fully hollow. Hofner Jazzica, like Paul Carrack uses, is a distant dream

Ah man, what was it? Missed it.
I tried some lower end new gretsches a while back and wasn't thrilled with them.

yeah it's worth stopping by musician's friend once a day, their "stupid deal of the day" can be really good

This thing is so cool looking. It's actually a full hollow, but I just wanted to post it somewhere

I want it even though I have no idea what it plays/sounds like. It's art.

In seriousness, I tracked down some video demos, and I don't think it's exactly what I would look for soundwise. I wish there was an actual semihollow version of the same thing with higher output pickups.
I do also wonder if the positioning of the tremolo arm vs volume and tone knobs would be annoying, and I read that the pickguard is very fragile. Still though, man.
