Saw a pic on another site of a triple 10 guitar with 12 pedals claimed to be a Bigsby. opinions? Does anyone know the current owner, or have any information about it?
Sorry for the poor quality pic.

Picture is so blurry that can't say anything for sure. The body looks like a Bigsby and if the inlay says Bigsby then it most likely is. However, the pedal rack, necks, fretboards, PU's are not Bigsby, the keyheads probably either. Looks a lot like one of Shot Jackson's Bigsby conversions, which would make it a very intersting guitar. But like I said, without better pictures, that's only my best guess.

There is a guy in China who claims to be able to make a Bigsby lookalike to order. I contacted him about a year ago and asked to see photos of his handiwork, but I heard nothing in response.

Thanks for the responses. I also have heard from another source that the various components do Not look to be Bigsby despite the general Bigsby look.

I have an original Bigsby triple neck for sale at the shop and could compare them but the picture you posted doesn't help too much.

I have a feeling it's a Wright Custom, just a feeling.
