I took delivery of a gold, NW Aristocrat yesterday, and I’m super impressed with it. Having owned a NS X175B, I was aware of what the quality would probably be like, and I wasn’t disappointed.
However, I’m really missing a Bigsby. It feels weird not to have one, but I’m a bit torn about installing one. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that it’ll need a B7 type and a Guild version is probably not going to be an option.
I have concerns about the “feet” under the bridge, stability, and excessive downward pressure on the bridge. I’m considering the Callaham front-roller to help things out a bit.
I haven’t made a decision yet, so for those of you with a Bigsby on your Aristocrat, what bridge/bridgebase are you using? Any tips?
Should I return it and get a Duo Jet?
