Members mustang5 Posted September 9, 2020 Members Share Posted September 9, 2020 Hey guys, I hope you're all keeping well. I recently had to sell a couple of guitars, and one of my cheaper ones I was offered an Epiphone Blueshawk to trade. It's worth more so I thought I'd go for it, and as I've managed to get myself back on track financially I'm considering keeping it. Could anybody recommend a Bigsby or similar bridge that would go well on this? I recently fitted a Bigsby on a Les Paul for one of my guitar students (I felt like I was committing vandalism at the time!) and the end result was actually really cool and now I fancy one😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted September 10, 2020 Members Share Posted September 10, 2020 Happy New Guitar Day. AFAIK you can install a Bigsby but I've never done it. There are YouTube vids showing how so if you have the experience go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jtr654 Posted September 10, 2020 Members Share Posted September 10, 2020 I don't think Bigbsy will fit not enough angle body& neck to bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mustang5 Posted September 15, 2020 Author Members Share Posted September 15, 2020 I've decided,in order to get my whammy bar fix I'd just get a Duesenberg trem to put on my Epiphone 50s standard. No drilling and no scars if I change my mind. Anybody considering a Bigsby on any stop bar type bridge, I can't recommend this highly enough as an alternative.

Members Mikeo Posted September 15, 2020 Members Share Posted September 15, 2020 That's kind of like a tele bridge. Here's another company that does a no drill bigsby. http://www.vibramate.com/index.php Might work for ya. I'd call em and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
