Bigsby Merle Travis 1948 1954, a guitar maker whose name starts with a F unveils what is probably the most recognizable guitar in history. That guitar had a very, very similar headstock shape to this 1948 Bigsby Merle Travis, released 6 years earlier. Paul Bigsby definitely brought much more to the guitar world than his world famous vibrato. So… guessed who I’m talking about?
