Putting a Bigsby on my H575

Of course the 575 is the wrong axe heavy metal anyway.

 

Very true! Someone at PSP II (I think it was Kenny?) was trying to play some Judas Priest on his, and it broke! Well, a string broke!

The Bigsby-equipped Heritage I dream about is the H550 David Paul sig, like this one (via gbase at Wolfe Guitars).

 

I run hot and cold on the master volume knob. Never tried one. Seems like a good idea, but I've never felt the need for a third volume knob.

 

But I dig the overall vibe: the flamey blue! the Bigsby!

 

Can I get a witness?

Alright, The guitar is finished! It took a long time to book time with my local guitar guy to do the electronics for me.

 

So, after all is said and done, here's what I did with it.

 

1. Installed locking chrome grovers, drop in replacement.

2. New chrome Lollar pickup covers for the humbucker shaped P90s

3. (and you guys are not going to like this one) 3 sound posts to control feedback. One under the bridge, one on either side of the pickups.

4. Graphtec nut

5. Tru-Arc Al bar bridge

 

I was not sure about the sound posts, but they totally worked. Feedback is gone, but it still sounds like a hollowbody guitar. Sound? Sounds exactly what it looks like - 1/2 Gretsch + 1/2 Heritage.

 

Photos later!

If you've got a problem, and no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire . . . the A- Team!

 

Sorry, it's the cigar.

Heeeeeey . . . Is that a bottle of Bells'? And why do I feel like such a lush for recognizing that?
