John,

I haven't seen a Strat with Bigsby, but of course Telecasters have had models with Bigsby for those who want them. I suppose that putting one on a Stratwould not be any different, but I suppose it also comes down to personal taste -I would simply get a normal tremolo Strat if we are talking 6 string, but perhaps you are thinking of a 12 string with Bigsby? I know that Rickenbacher and maybe Gibson have made guiatrs like that, but perhaps the views expressed in this discussion group here might be of some guidance:

Regards ;)

By the way, here's a pic of a Ventures model Mosrite 12 string, not Bigsby but similar.

John,

Actually a Strat with a 12 string Bigsby would (except for the body shape) look more like this VOX Phantom I think. ;)
