Drilling for Casino?

Recommended Posts

If you use the preferred B7 or B-70, yes, you'll need to drill two small holes in the top. (I've heard of players who install this model Bigsby without drilling the top and claim it works fine, but I can't speak from experience).

 

A Bigsby B3 or B-30 (with no tension bar) will work on the Casino without drilling, provided you use heavy enough strings, but the tension bar model is the one most recommended for use with the Casino.

 

Any Bigsby will need a couple of tiny screw holes at the bottom of the hinge plate near the end strap pin.

Hey corcoran. I could pull the screws out of my bigsby and tell you how it works without them, if you want.

 

I tend to think it would be ok. Since it's mostly pushing down on the bar.

I do pull up a bit sometimes, but it's way less moveable that direction.
