They closed all of the vibrato bars in my area due to COVID.  :ph34r:

Haaaa!  I can't think of the last time I was in a bar. Covid brain.

Now that you brought this up. Good names for a bar. 

Welcome to the Tone Sucker or Welcome to the Vibrato Bar. Where all Your Dreams come true!

Still don’t know what the tone sucker is.

An inside joke that goes back a ways.  A Bigsby trem was referred to as a "Tone Sucker" by one of our HOC members and it keeps coming up from time to time.

If it does alter tone, it can also add a lot in the hands of someone who can play it IMHO.  That's said, I'm not one of them.

If I could remember who I sold The ToneSucker(tm) to, I'd try to get it back, even thought it has (had?) HRWs. The cat...not so much.

Edit to add: A couple PSPs ago, @Jim W and @LeftyAlicia were kind enough to take me along on what I termed, "The Cavalcade of Southeast Michigan Manufacturing Tour." One of the places they stopped was the casting company, just a couple blocks from Heritage, that makes Bigsby trems. It reminded me greatly of Heritage in the Golden Era.

Now you have been jonesing for a "Tone Sucker". 

I currently have no guitars with a Bigsby. They are fun make those deep dives.

A great bar name could also be the Whammy Bar.

support American manufacturing; buy a Bigsby!!

I also got the Bigsby tour c/o Jim & Alicia. we interrupted them on their lunch break, but they were gracious enough to put up with us

"Bigsby, Interrupted"

was a really neat place to check out

didn't see any spokes anywhere though

I have a hazy recollection of inspecting the production facilities of The Boathouse and The Green Door, as well, with you three. Hazy...

When I am ready (if ever) to get another guitar (believe it or not, while I love guitars, I absolutely HATE keeping them strung... but also HATE not having fresh strings. lol) I am thinking strongly on getting a Bespoke 150 akin to the former 157 but with some specific other "bling" touches. I absolutely LOVE the double-arrow headstock inlay.

I am glad I got my Custom Shop Heritages before the "Bebroke Program" started.   And they are light weight, resonate, and perfect!

Stunners John!

Up until Heritage and now a few others recently, I'm ashamed to admit I had never heard the word Bespoke before...

That's why I kind of changed it to a more accurate name, "Bebroke".... 

It cost me a total upcharge of $75/guitar back in 2007 & 2008 to order my Custom Heritages.
