Looks better.

much more stable.

I just kind of hate vibrato systems in general?

imo vibrato systems are the last non-electric way to expand guitar vocabulary and expression.

I just bend the strings with my fingers :idk:

I've gotten good at that Nels Cline/Tom Verlaine reallyquick vibrato without using the whammy on any of my guitars.

ah but thats simply up (and only up) and back to zero to a max of AT BEST a 3rd or minor 3rd as opposed to up to AND down to octaves with much more control.

you can't do Adrian Belew stuff without one, and he's been the future of guitar for 30 years

but, with a bigsby you've got like +/- one full step of bend range. Yawn.
