Was planning to build one back in 2014 but the Petty band went on hiatus. Even bought the Bigsby setup from HIAR back when and never used it, or sold it.

Well the Petty band is back and under new leadership and name:

and figured it was time to finally put Big Red together. The guitar was used during the recording of Refugee and was used in the '85 Concert on 'You Got Lucky'.



Main parts are on the way!!!

A Bigsby'd Strat-O-Tele huh? I'm not familiar with the original, but it looks like maybe a neck humbucker? I can't see the middle, but the bridge does look to be a strat single.

Congrats on getting the band back together!

That gives me an idea. Tell the wife I am starting a Petty tribute band. Then buy a ton of cool guitars and say, Mike played one like this on their '84 tour, I needed it for the band :grin:

The trick is to not tell the wife :grin:
