Bigsby Mod

[OutoftheBlues]

Thinking about installing a Bigsby on my new Dot Limited Edition with Cherry Flame top. Show me some pics and any installation issues. Thanks.

Be sure and check out Youtube videos showing how to install one.

Here's a pic of the Bigsby B700 I put on my Riff 345 copy (built in some of the the same Korean plants as the Dots). Same installation as on the Dot --- no problems, and a very nice mod!

My Dot with a B70. It works great. I also installed a roller bridge and I have NO tuning problems. Fairly easy installation.

Have you thought about trying one of these :

a bit dearer than bigsby on it's own, but no need to drill any holes & its reversable if you don't like it.

jcwillow--it's been said before, but that 'CUSTOM MADE' plaque is really sweet. Looks good and a great way to cover up the stop bar threads!

Thanks all, I purchased a B70 and now I'm mulling over whether to install it on my Natural Sheraton or my Cherry Red Flame Top Dot. Maybe the sheri because it plays better than the dot - the neck on the sherri is not as fat as the dot, which I prefer. We'll see, I've got a gig this weekend and I'll use the Dot - then I'll decide.
