gvhbngh Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 would a vibramate wok well on my les paul 100? or, would I have better luck with one of those mounting plates from zz guitar works ? :)
Cruznolfart Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 WTF is a Les Paul 100? And here I was wonderin' what a vibramate wok is. :)
gvhbngh Posted December 31, 2008 Author Posted December 31, 2008 WTF is a Les Paul 100? ever heard of epiphone? :)
gvhbngh Posted December 31, 2008 Author Posted December 31, 2008 are you guys just being jerks because I'm a newbie? :)
gvhbngh Posted December 31, 2008 Author Posted December 31, 2008 LP 100 is a entry level Epi thank you, guitarest :)
surfpup Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Sorry. I'd never heard of a Les Paul 100. But if it's an Epi, maybe you'd have better luck on the Epiphone forum - assuming you are looking for someone who has done the vibro install on your guitar.
KSG_Standard Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 are you guys just being jerks because I'm a newbie? :) They might be...to answer your first question though, I've got no experience with the vibramate...although it looks like a pretty neat idea. Wouldn't the top of your axe get all scratched/scarred up with that mounting plate, since it's only attached at the front and all of the string tension is on the bigsby? Hang in there and someone with knowledge on the product may respond. Good luck!

Cruznolfart Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Another name for a bigsby Thanks, guitarest, I may be an old dawg but I do enjoy learnin' new stuff.
80LPC Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 would a vibramate wok well on my les paul 100? It's a saucy Chinese kitchen appliance.
rmngretsch14 Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 To actually try to answer the question, you should be able to mount a bigsby B-5 or B- 50 on there alright and keep the tune-o matic in place. Had an LP-100 myself, of course I put a bit of work into it a load of Gibson Parts, works out to be a fine guitar

Jeez, he hadda yell at that one chick to get off. Looks like she did, too, eh?

Could someone please just give me an answer on which is better?
gvhbngh Posted January 1, 2009 Author Posted January 1, 2009 It's a saucy Chinese kitchen appliance. Ha!
80LPC Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 The EZ mount system looks a lot more substantial, but is a lot more expensive. http://www.zzguitarworks.com/servlet/the-Bigsby-Vibrato-EZ-dsh-Mount-Kits/Categories Both systems say no additional holes will be needed. The Vibramate obviously has more of a classic appearance. I personally would never fit anything like this unless the bridge had roller saddles.

gvhbngh Posted January 1, 2009 Author Posted January 1, 2009 Maybe ask over at the Epi site' date=' I am sure there are many more over there who have more knowledge about your guitar than here. Personally I would never operate on any of my guitars except for something that is totally reversible without any marks, cuts or anything thats viewable on the guitar. New pickups, sure no visible signs of modifications. [/quote'] I am not going over there!
