Talk:Paul Bigsby

Reverted
I have rolled back this edit by an anon with no other contributions. The desire to promote renaming the tremolo arm as a vibrato arm seems to be behind most of this edit. This is an ongoing controversy.

The issue of what a tremolo arm should be called is not one Wikipedia can settle. Rather, we describe what it is called. This is discussed at Talk:Tremolo arm, and the controversy is described at Tremolo arm and Vibrato unit.

No reason was given for the removal of the 1948 date for the tremolo arm design completion, so this has been restored. Admittedly a source would be good, but my feeling is that citation needed tags don't improve articles. There's an external link that supports the slightly later 1952 date for units in use, and the two dates are entirely consistent.

Finally, some other comments were removed:

''Today, the "Bigsby" has been modified and improved in concept many times, but the original is still effective for the purpose for which it was designed. Like all of Paul Bigsby's creations, is virtually indestructible, and still dresses up a fine guitar like nothing else quite can.''

This is POV, and doesn't seem to contain any extra information. In a sense all trems are descended from the Bigsby, if that's what this means. As for indestructible, even Crocker Motorcycles doesn't claim that. (-> Andrewa 00:05, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
