    Have a look at some Chet Atkins videos on the tube..
    Chet was the master of the Bigsby style trem (and he played Gretch Guitars).

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Fantastic footage of Chet Atkins performing "Dark Eyes" with his Gretsch 6120 prototype in the mid 1950s

    Yep, Chet Atkins is a highly regarded musician, he's done stuff with Les Paul.

    So how's she sounding now that you've re-strung the guitar that way?, she should be sounding good, I'm guessing the trem may be working better too.
