FDP Forum / The Gretsch Forum / Chet Atkins Bigsby arm on a 5120. Possible?

Deep K..K...K...Katmandu! That's really really where I'm from!	Jan 10th, 2013 03:15 AM   Edit   Profile   On my 5120, is it possible to just remove the stock bigsby arm and replace it with a Chet Atkins style arm. Just the arm only not the whole Bigsby set. Is this possible? Thank you!
Bubbalou Contributing Member ********** USA THE LOW END OF UPPER TEJAS	Jan 21st, 2013 11:24 AM   Edit   Profile   Yes, no problem at all. I did this to a Gretsch 6119 Tennessee Rose I had and it really made the Bigsby much nicer to use. You need to order this Bigsby Adaptor with Chet Atkins style arm complete.
Deep K..K...K...Katmandu! That's really really where I'm from!	Jan 21st, 2013 08:34 PM   Edit   Profile   Thank you Bubbalou! I have placed an order for the exact same item from the same website!
Bubbalou Contributing Member ********** USA THE LOW END OF UPPER TEJAS	Jan 22nd, 2013 12:40 PM   Edit   Profile   Your welcome! You can loosen the two set screws that hold the arm in place and twist the arm until it is in a position that is most comfortable to you.
