Works great on my guitar.

I replaced the stock tailpiece on my Höfner Ignition guitar with this vibrato tailpiece. It not only works as good as those higher priced Bigsby tailpieces but it also looks better than the Bigsby vibrato. A unique thing I have noticed about it compared to a Bigsby unit is that it doesn't use pins to retain the strings with their ball ends. It has the strings retained by a large tone block instead. Due to this restringing it is way easier than restringing a Bigsby unit.
