Epiphone Casino Mod Help

Hey guys!

 

Quite new to the forum here. Lookin' for some friendly help/advice regarding my lefty Epiphone Casino

 

After years and years, I'm finally in position where i can successfully be able to throw a bigsby on that bad boy. I found a B7 to put on. I contacted my local luthier about installing it and he recommended a roller bridge and locking tuners (i planned on having locking tuners installed anyway). Now my questions are these:

 

1.) Regarding a roller bridge - is it necessary? I've heard both arguments here but I'm all for having better tuning and stability seeing as this has become my main go to over the years (sorry strat!) and if so, will be able to just flip the roller bridge for a lefty model? I've been told the Schaller roller bridge is the best choice regarding a good fit for the casino

 

2.) Locking tuners - Gotoh magnum lock or Roto-grip? I'm not against having to modify the headstock if need be but would like to get the closest fit for it.

 

Thanks in advance for all the help from the fellow gearheads on here!
