I get the diff between the full fat B-7 and the licensed B-70 (cool that they're available cheap from Thomann now). but WTF is the B-700CH? Other B-700's I've found say Lightning Series II and are about £250. WTF are they?
EDIT. Just figured it out. B-7 is the proper one. B-70 is the "lightning series" budget model, also available licensed versions as above. The B-700 is a different design altogether and seems to only exist in the Lightning series... I think.
EDIT. Nope. That would be according to the Bigsby website. But there is no mention of the B-700CH on the Bigsby website. It is a slightly different design to the B-700 on the Bigsby site but I can't figure out if it's nearer the cheaper lighning series (plastic bushings) or the OG ones (bearings).
ALSO - if you look at the pics on Thomann, their licensed B-70 looks like it has bearings rather than the plastic bushings on the Lightning series.
