Wow! this is an unusual item. I would think that Rainsong would want it for its collection, if it doesn't already have one.

Funky.....
If it stays in tune it would be a unique addition to an eclectic collection.

Unusual indeed, Evan. Have to wonder if the Bigsby was installed after, or at Rainsong. I'll have to ask Ashvin about this one.

That must add a fair bit of weight to the body of an otherwise light guitar, likely affecting its balance. It'd be interesting to see/hear it in use.

I have a hard time believing that a normal acoustic guitar top - even carbon fiber - could support the stress of a Bigsby. If it isn't reinforced underneath I bet that unit deforms the heck out the top when you wang on it. And how is it fastened? Would have to be bolts with nuts, not screws.

I imagine having the Bigsby installed on an acoustic like that would change the normal vibration of the top. Perhaps a compressor-like effect. It would certainly alter the natural sound of the guitar, whether being whammied or not.
I've confirmed this by attaching various things to the top of my Rainsong Shorty, behind the bridge. Using double-sided tape which is removeable. Lately it's been a stamped brass bridge cover from an old P-bass. It does compress the sound but also adds some dimensionality, and even a bit more volume to the player. Fun stuff. |

I checked with Rainsong, and the Bigsby was not added by them. Looks like someone modified it after purchase.
