Default Bigsby on Semi Hollowbody

I have never played a guitar with a Bigsby.
They seem like a pain to set up, can someone who has used one please tell me about it.
I don't even use the term on my strat I have it blocked.
The reason i'm asking is because there is a Sadowsky semi hollow with one, but I don't think I will really use it so I have been waiting for one to show up with out it.Thanks

I have a Bigsby on my Ibanez AFS75T. Be aware that a Bigsby is completely different than a Strat trem. Bigsby is easy to string and tune. I seldom use it, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

i had a gretsch with one, never really used it before that on a strat too. one day i started and the bigsby to that of the tremolo on the start was really nice, charming for what its worth, then i got into the strat's bar just kicking hendrix style sh*T, fun to play around with and it's not a necessity to use if it's there. no deal breaker for me either though i do prefer simple broken down guitars, ex, fender musicmaster to a strat, one pu, vol and tone!!!
