Bigsby for Les Paul ES


foreverman

Recommended Posts

I am very happy with the playability and sound of my Les Paul ES. I am considering installing a Bigsby Tremolo. It will be installed professionally if I decide to do this. Need some feedback before taking any serious next steps.

 

+ Is this a good idea? Any good or bad stories attempting this?

+ The Bigsby B7 is the correct model for the Les Paul ES?

+ Will the standard case fit the Bigsby once it is installed?

+ Any other tips or advice?

 

Thanks in advance and Happy New Year,

Rich

If you're set on it, the B7 is correct for a Les Paul, so should be fine for a LP ES. The guitar with Bigsby should fit in the case. Some years ago I bought a used LP with a Bigsby installed - it was tight, but it fit in the factory case.

 

If you use a Vibramate you won't have to have holes drilled in the top - http://www.vibramate.com/vibramate-v7-lp-install.php

 

Let us know what you end up doing.
