Autumn Light&Shade Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 URL=http://s1375.photobucket.com/user/emmastrutt19/media/20150620_1227542_zpsqwam0cbc.jpg.html][/url]'ve wanted a Bigsby B5 for a while now and I took delivery of this Tuesday (would have posted sooner but I'm having so much fun playing my guitar). Really quick and simple to fit this, using the Vibramate, great piece of kit, no drilling into the body involved . To my ears the strings have a lovely ring to them since fitting the Bigsby. No tuning problems either. Very pleased with the results. I just want to say thank you to kidblast for the info links. You helped me to achieve my Bigsby dream without having to drill into the guitar body. :) Emma :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi jaygl, thank you :) The Bigsby is really easy to fit, using the Vibramate. All I had to do was remove the tailpiece. All the necessary screws are supplied with the Vibramate. It only takes about 10 minutes. To be honest it took me longer to restring the guitar. It's a great piece of kit, no measuring and the best bit no drilling. Kind regards, Emma :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
