JimmyJet Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Guys, forgive me if you already know about this, but I've always wanted an ES-335 with Bigsby, but can't afford any models that would have it nor would I want to drill holes on the face of a 2K+ guitar to install one myself -- but, I stumbled across this today. This company also sells just the adapter plate without the Bigsby if you want for a $100 less. And they have it for other models, so check out their store too. http://cgi.ebay.com/GIBSON-ES-335-345-BIGSBY-VIBRATO-ALUM-EZ-MOUNT-SYSTEM_W0QQitemZ350113750200QQihZ022QQcategoryZ38085QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262 Also, if any of you have used one of these, please report. thanks, j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hall Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Jimmy, I've seen it. Don't know if it works. There is a much much better system, but you will have to depend on someone who remembers its name. I wouldn't want my strap pin under such pressure as normal Bigsby has 4 small end screws around the pin. That other one I mentioned is definantly worth a look and is cheaper. You will need a bigger strap pin either way. Saw it in Premier Guitar mag. Now the important stuff: Is that MacDonald & Giles in your avator?! I thought I was the only person alive who knew of that album. I still hold the original LP! Look for that other plate system before you buy. I put a Bigsby on a 335 of mine last year. Sweated, but all went perfect and I will never remove it. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJet Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 HG, I'll look for that other system you're referring to - hopefully someone here will think of the name. What I thought was really cool about this adapter is that utilizes the stop-tailpiece lugs to anchor it down... Yes, that is M & G - both front and back when you open the double fold album cover, and I too have the original LP -- I sought that album after hearing the song from there, "Is She Waiting" Cool that you recognized it take care, j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
