Bigsby's are awesome. Way better than Floyd Rose or anything similar. Whenever I pick up a guitar that has a Bigsby I yank away like there's no tomorrow. And I'm a minimalist with FX... most the time I play with none. You'd have to have the hand span of a sasquatch or a grey alien to replicate what can be done with a Bigsby, I think. Maybe Yngwie working the scalloped fretboard... but last I knew his signature Strat has a Floyd Rose.
