The mahogany ES Bigsby kit pairs a double-bound semi-hollow body with a Bigsby-style vibrato for that signature shimmer and dive. In stock and dispatched from our UK warehouse.

Build Considerations

  • Recommended for expert builders due to the set-in neck with inclination requiring precise alignment before gluing.
  • Painting is approachable on the smooth mahogany; take care around the binding and neck sealing.
  • Initial neck setup is key to achieving great string action; sound adjustment is manageable after setup.

Key Features

  • Mahogany semi-hollow body with double white binding.
  • Mahogany neck with ebony fretboard, 22 frets, white dot inlays.
  • Chrome hardware with Bigsby-style vibrato, two humbuckers, and 3-way toggle switch.
