Bigsby tremolo system

[faizal_rocks]

I`m thinking of putting a Bigsby tailpiece on my Epi Casino. Anybody knows where I can get a Bigsby? : )

cheapest Bigsbys on the net. much cheaper than stewmac.

i got mine from them, good fast service.

the model for your casino is the B7 or B70.

the USA-made B7 costs ard S$220. the korean made B70 is ard 100+.

difference is just in the metals used.

bear in mind u'll have to drill 2 holes in the top of ur casino to mount it.

KC from Maestro did a great installation job on my les paul.

hope this helps

wow i never knew bigsbys were that cheap. awesome.

hmm fenderben..
the prices are with our without shipping?
and how much for installation?

 

[Benster]

without shipping but shipping is cheap coz its light.

it should cost around $50-70 to install depending on what else needs to be done.

i thought about stetsbar too ... but decided its just hideous...
part of putting the bigsby was also the "cosmetic" factor... haha..
very tempted to try installing one on my lp also..

I got mine from reverendguitars.com for about SG$100 I think, back when they were clearing stock. Not on their site anymore though.

casino is fully hollow right? think better to get the one with the long trapeze bridge.

Thanks for the tips, ppl..just visited Elderly website..after calculation, its still ex including the shipping charges..amounting to $250+ Sing...hmm...maybe, I`m wrong..

fenderben, can u verify this?

 

[edder]

goose, you wanna buy ah? i think peninsula should have.... if not maybe you can find at those vintage shops... look for VERSACE during the early 90's. :lol:

it'll look good with a Hunting World tshirt too man... and leather shoes without socks. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[ChanMin]

hunting world... wah damn old school... HaHAHAa

JPG long wallet with metal strip.
moschino white colour belt
versace jeans

man.. dam interested in stetsbar.. but its so exp!!!

 

[edder]

and ChanMin what does that all spell?

C.A.N.T.O. CANTO CANTO!!!!

faizal, if u find the USA B7 too expensive, get the cheaper Korean-made B70. serves the same purpose.

blueark, your bigsby is cool, but its the B5-style design which fits flat-tops, not archtops.

edder, B7 is the long style one.

B6 is for Gretsch and most big-bodied archtops.

B7 is for les pauls, 335s, casinos and small archtops. the B7 has an extra tension bar to compensate for the neck angle of these guitars.

hope this helps

 

[shenanigans]

wow the one for the tele looks hot :smt119

 

[theblueark]

Not as common, but the B5 can be put on archtops as well:
ESP Xtone

Hamer Monico

 

[edder]

ark if the semi hollow got a center block then i think the B5 model is ok.

Ooo Ooo Ooo! That makes so much sense now that you pointed it out!

Omg i'm so dumb.
