Gretsch & Bigsby
The Gretsch & Bigsby Killer Combo
Players in their own words:
Don’t take our word for it – hear it from the guys who pound and bend these strings almost every night. And if that’s not enough to convince you, read all the testimonials here.
Or just scroll through the list, it’s impressive too.
Jeff Vitolo:
I can’t say enough great things about Blue Magic Strings. The most important things to me that they deliver and I’m sure most players will agree are strength and long lasting tone. For all three of my Gretsch guitars with Bigsby Vibrato tailpieces on them that I mostly play live. Blue Magic Strings are second to none. I’ve had issues with other brands that weaken at the windings when you bend them to wrap them around to hook to the pins on my Bigsbys. I’ve never an issue with the Blue Balls of Blue Magic Strings!.
Chris Chancey:
No Pre-Bending needed You don’t need 3 hands to hold the last string. The String keepers (axle rod) hold tighter on the Blue Magic family of string balls.
Shawn Roux:
Blue Magic strings just WORK BETTER with my Bigsby. Strings seem to wrap around the roller better, and once stretched, they hold tune far better than any brand I’ve used. I can dip that bar with no fear of being out of tune, and that’s magic, BLUE magic of course.
