Twist Bigsby Handle for Kalamazoo Models

At its functional core, the Twist Handle is one inch longer than a stock stainless steel Kalamazoo Bigsby handle and features a wider, curved grip with rolled edges and a contoured grip that makes using your vibrato a true joy.

It utilizes the same style of mounting hardware as vintage-style Bigsby handles with its supplied ¼” diameter bolt and split lock washer arrangement. This attachment method offers a stiffer interface with the handle pivot; removing virtually all of the vertical play inherent to the spring backed hardware found on stock stainless steel handles. Plus, the handle’s flat, cross-hatched pivot interface ensures that it properly contacts the stock, red fiber bushing for smooth pivot function.
