bacongrease Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I don't use the Bigsby. I don't want to replace it--that will leave two holes in the Riviera body where the other bridges & tail pieces won't cover up--but I am interested in keeping it stable & immovable for a few reasons as you can imagine. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 The first thing I would try is removing the spring under the handle pivot and replace it with a piece of metal tubing. You might as well remove the handle while you're at it and top it off the tubing with a washer. This will lock it in place and keep it from moving.

Pesh Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 +1 to Larry's suggestion. Otherwise remove it, and get a long jazz trapeze tailpiece which will cover the holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabar Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 If you leave the handle pointed down to the strap pin and don't use it, you already have a heavy-duty trapeze tailpiece. It will be as stable as any other trapeze tailpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
