gavinws140 Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Does anyone know which of the Bigsby's work on the Heritage H-140CM? I am inclined to say the same as the Les Paul's but I dont know if the measurements match up right.
High Flying Bird Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Your probably right Gavin. I can't say for sure but I would expect the tops to be similar.
golferwave Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Contact Ren at the factory and I'll bet he can tell you which Bigsby part number to get.
emery7columna Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 ZZ Guitarworks sells a trapeze style mounting plate with a Bigsby B50 on it. The mechanism bolts to your existing tailpiece studs and where the rear strap button is. It is completely reversable as there is no drilling required.
rooster Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 FWIW, I have Stetsbars on 2 of my H150's. Fantastic tremolo, especially after they've broken in. Kinda halfway between a Bigsby and a Fender as far as action goes, much more usable and user-friendly than a Bigsby as well. Kinda pricey, but if you're going to bolt a trem onto a Heritage, the extra money is well worth it. Also, doesn't seem to kill the tone or sustain. Good stuff, IMO. rooster.
es125luv Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 If you don't mind the look of the "horseshoe" Bigsby B5, try those Vibramate brackets with one. It is supposed to install with NO modifications and can be removed. Will work with any stop tailpiece/tune-o-matic setup. No, I do not work for these guys but I wish they had this a while back before I hacked up some guitars when I tried installing one. http://www.vibramate.com/
