This was a very inexpensive upgrade that has transformed the guitar into something really special and was actually easier to do than a full re-string. I have now completely cured the problem by upgrading the bridge to a roller saddle version. This could be corrected to some extend by regular application of a grease lubricant to the saddles. The saddle retaining spring wire is no match for the power of the Bigsby. However, after about six months use, my third and fourth string saddles were again moving when the Bigsby was used and failing to return to their original position. The problems are somewhat minimal if the Bigsby is being used lightly. From my experiences, and other on-line negative reviews, this combination has given rise to concerns about the guitar's ability to stay in tune. My 2014 WildKat came fitted, as standard, with an Epiphone branded Locktone Tune-o-matic bridge and a Bigsby B70 Vibrato tail-piece.
