mayor brown Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 theres plenty of epi models i like. but so few come with a trapeze tailpiece, which ive come to prefer over stop bar after my casino. anybody tried to make that swap on anything? got pix? tia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabar Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Several people here have installed Bigsby tailpieces on stop-bar guitars. Installing a trapeze is essentially the same --- even easier, because you won't have to drill into the top. Here's a pic of my Riff ES-345 copy that I mounted a Bigsby on. I opted to just remove the stopbar and leave the threaded bushings in place. Others have removed the bushings and filled the holes with dowels or made a plastic or metal plate to cover them.
