    I bought one last time it was posted. Love it, but the bigsby is a pain unless you install locking tuners, one of those string plates for it, and a rolling TOM bridge. Overall pretty cheap and easy mods to make than guitar play amazing

    It probably needs a proper set up which is common for guitars in this price range.

    Bigsby tuning problems are common on any guitar, even high dollar guitars of any brand. Tips to fix without spending lots of money. String it on top of the roller instead of underneath, and push a little pencil graphite into the nut and bridge slots. Replace the spring with a Reverend Soft Spring ($10). Just those 3 things can fix 90-100% of tuning issues on a Bigsby! Good luck!
    Also take the spring out from under the bar and step on it like 50x. That will break it in and make the spring much more stable.

    I bought the hardtail larger 2622 version and initially had some issues with tuning stability after bends - it went on longer than the typical new string break-in period. The pencil graphite trick helped but it still dogged it for a while. With a lot more play, especially working it out with lots of aggressive bends, it has tightened up.

    I really love the guitar overall, it's become my go-to. Top value for money, plays extremely well, fit and finish are great too.

    Does the trem bar have good action? I want to figure out wah wah playing. Is this a good guitar for that?

    Mine's a hardtail so can't speak to the quality of the Bigsby setup. But, these guitars should be just fine with a wah pedal in general.

    For 48hrs I've been down the craiglist/fb market/reverb rabbit hole looking for a Gretsch. Not sure what compelled me to search here for one -- figured there'd be maybe 0.1% chance anything would come up, but jeez I'm glad I did! definitely compromised on the color, but looks like I can probably sell it for what I paid if I ever want to switch it up. thanks!

    I got one a couple weeks ago. The pictures definitely don't do it justice, it's beautiful in person.

    Anyone else with one of these Streamliners having issues keeping their output jack tight? I think they forgot the locking washer inside mine which sucks because it's a huge pain to work on these. If you keep letting the jack spin around eventually the wire will break. I ended up putting silicone adhesive around the output jack nut as a fix to keep it in place. Not permanent and doesn't seem to mess with the finish.
