I got the Starfire VI about a year ago. I think its stunningly beautiful and probably bought it because of looks and the desire to own a bit of history even if it was an imitation of the original. I had lot's of set up problems until I found the right guy to give a pro set up. It plays nice now, and switching to medium strings helped as well but, you know, I'm just not warming up to it. It doesn't have the sound I want. I can't get used to the weight distribution. I play sitting down and it pulls me down on the lower bout. All that weight there is due to the Bigsby? Or something else?
I was eyeing the 175B, but wondered if the Bigsby would do the same thing with the weight on that model. I know the pickups are totally different with a different sound as well and that might be refreshing. Any thoughts on this from users, your preferences with either, or solutions to the weight problem?
Thanks
