Seriously bad case of GAS.

I want that gold one so badly.

Don’t you mean wind!
And it’s got a “Nevertune”.

It has a built in TonePro roller bridge to counteract that.

Roller bridge with no angle is pretty bad for tone.

I’m half joking.
You would only buy this for the looks if this is your thing.
As an instrument it is sacrificing functionality for fashion but we can’t all just play the same thing.

I like the body lines and shape. Makes me think of a Ric.

The white one with the stop tail is rad

Unless you want the functionality of a Bigsby style tremolo.

Kind of dig it. But which one? Bass? 12 string? 6?

That Gold one with the Bigsby is giving me Rivolta vibes in a good way.

Yes.

Kamikaze tuning handle is a great idea on any guitar.

I kinda like the old Rickenbacker looking ones a little better, but cool to see they’ve reissued these. I always liked the body shape!

I gigged a Bigsby for a while and never had any problems with it

 

[JiveTurkey]

This is an odd one for me. LOVE the body style, hate the bridge and pickguard.

Bigsby can work but there is a list of serious issues that need to be addressed before it can. On some guitars these are already close to correct for it to be usable but many are not. Also working it has a considerable effect on the tone and sustain . This may be what you are looking for but it is it's own thing and you need to want it because the guitars always sound fuller and sustain longer without it.

That all applies to any trem IME

Not true. Plenty of modern tremolos don’t get in the way , stay in tune and aren’t detrimental to tone.
