sbtills Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 We put this Bigsby B5 on Silverburst I today, with the Vibramate adaptor. Very simple installation and it works great. Even seems to enhance what was already great tone.
FredZepp Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Dang... that is sharp. That was already a cool axe, but that just adds to it. Good choice. A Heritage enhanced by Brent/ Bigsby.
tulk1 Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 How do those sit in the case with that big 'ol arm hanging off there?
smurph1 Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 How do those sit in the case with that big 'ol arm hanging off there? I was wondering the same thing..
sbtills Posted July 2, 2010 Author Posted July 2, 2010 How do those sit in the case with that big 'ol arm hanging off there? The arm folds back, so there is no problem closing the case. There will be a new indentation in the lining of the case, but that's not a problem.
peteraltongreen Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Hi 'sbtills' , Nice guitar.Don't know if you've ever seen the 'Les Trem' shown it the accompanying photo's.It has the advantage of needing no screws into the top of the guitar,and if your guitar has a stop bar tail,it'll fit. I've had this one on my CM140,my ES335,and now it's on my '64 Epiphone Wilshire.Worth seeking out.Try the Duesenberg guitar site in Germany. Peter Alton Green.

With the Vibramate adaptor, there is no drilling either. It uses the holes for the original tailpiece. So far I like it, and after breaking in the strings it stays in perfect tune. I was concerned about the Les Trem holding it's tuning, as I had heard it may be a problem. It sounds like you are happy with yours, and those are nice looking guitars.
Dick Seacup Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 A Bigsby? Why would you go and bolt a known tone sponge on a perfectly good guitar? Look sharp!
