I am new to Bigsby's so please,forgive my ignorance.I have a 6120jr w/Bigsby and arm sticks up too high to use comfortably.I removed nylon washer.Has anyone ever cut down height of spring or and can arm be bent.I don't want to move tailpiece any(the bracket sits about 1/8 high above the binding but i'm thinkin' this should help,as raising the back end a little would put the arm down more)as it returns to pitch "perfectly".Maybe the only option is the Travis/Atkins arm as it is bent downward.Any help would be appreciated.Thanx and God bless, "Tyguy"

You can buy shorter springs

is it a 1" spring? there are 7/8" springs avail for $7-8+shipping.

Don't cut the spring. You can bend the handle down some gently if you know how. I always seem to have to bend them up higher a bit for my comfort.

Thanx

thanx

yep, buy the shorter spring. They are a little high for my taste as well and too stiff to push easily. I don't use it that much so I just deal with it.
