Bought TWO of these.

BOTH had a major issue with keeping tuned.

I had a luthier determine that these is an issue with the Bigsby missing a wire across the strings that would allow the strings back in place after using the Bigsby.

Both were returned.

Have to wonder if Adorama bought a big lot of known flawed guitars.

Beautiful guitars but NEITHER was for more than a minute with the tuning issue. functional

I would truly advise you to find another luthier as the one you're going to sounds like an imbecile who's never seen or worked on a Bigsby tremolo. You made reference to a missing "wire" across the strings that kept the strings from going back into place which is why it was not staying in tune. Please show me a diagram or photo that shows this mysterious "wire" you speak of. I know of no such wire in any Bigsby made.

These Gretsch guitar deals Adorama has been posting are some of the best guitar deals of the past several years. And Adorama is one of the best online retailers as far as allowing a customer to return a guitar, no questions asked. You honestly believe Adorama is selling known flawed guitars? OK, I guess the rest of us just got lucky.
