The Bigsby Palm Pedal

Taylor Nauta demonstrates the Bigsby Palm Pedal installed on a 1969 Fender Telecaster given to him by Boomer Castleman. Boomer invented the Palm Pedal in the 1960's. The rosewood telecaster in this video is the same guitar Bigsby used in their promotional advertisements for the Bigsby Palm Pedal during the 1970's.

Awesome stuff. I wish these benders were easier to find…😢

Wow, that Tele, a rosewood and it's a 69? Man, I'd just like to play it once. Very cool

[@taylornauta]

Yep. It’s a very heavily modified 1969 rosewood Fender Telecaster.

Aaron Heisler Thank you!

Interesting. I found a site with a Bigsby Palm Bender for sale, and am wondering how hard they are to install? Can I leave my 3-barrel Telecaster bridge on, or would I need a new one with rollers? Thanks! Cool stuff!

kanekila You could use a three barrel bridge, but I think the b & g strings would eventually wear grooves into the barrels; so you’d have to replace a barrel every now and then.
