Also, small update. I was finally able to play this today through my amp (Marshall Origin 20 Head -> Egnater 1x12 with a G12H 70th Anniversary) all cranked up to almost ten and godDAMN does this thing sound good. Touch sensitive dynamics, going from clean to crunch with ease. Stays defined even when gain is a bit higher. Love it.
I've got TV Jones' Filtertrons in my Bo Diddley, and they're pretty amazing pickups. There's areason Pete Townshend recorded all of the best stuff The Who did on his Gretsch.

Inspired by Sciuri's Duo Jet, I decided to get a Chet arm for mine too. I gotta say, this is a fantastic upgrade. The trem feels smoother to me, and being able to spin the arm all the way around is very nice. Looks killer too.

Nice! Looks great! I’m glad you’re liking the Chet arm. When I installed it, it was such a nice aha moment that it made me wonder why it wasn’t a more popular mod. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone who wants more out of their Bigsby!
