gatman Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Looking at 1966 to 1969 Es-335 and Es-355 models and I would like to purchase one as close to original as possible. But there are many where somebody has change the trapeze tail piece with A Bigsby or a Vibrola (lire). I would not want to have a guitar where holes were cut/made or material damage to the body occurs. Are these pieces interchangeable? (scoured threads and did not see - if overlooked apologies). Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grog Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Mine is a 1967 & came with a factory Bigsby. It has "Custom" engraved on the truss rod cover. The Lyre Tailpiece was also a factory option durring those years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gibson Too Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Mine is a 1967 & came with a factory Bigsby. It has "Custom" engraved on the truss rod cover. The Lyre Tailpiece was also a factory option durring those years. Quite a beauty you have there, very similar to my '64 with a factory installed bigsby. The stop tailpiece post holes were filled in with pearl. Just had mine appraised in May for a new insurance carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
