Bigsby tremolo

[dudelove]

I'm thinking of fitting one unto my les paul.

Firstly, does any shop in s'pore sell bigsby tremolos?

and erm after fitting one, can it fit inside a standard les paul hardcase? i dont want to fit it on and realise i cant close my hardcase.

Thanks in advance

So far I didn't see any shop selling a Bigsby kit. For me, I ordered via Ebay and recently installed it to my CS-336 at Zen guitarworks. It should be able to fit in any hardcase. You just have to turn the bigsby arm towards to the strap button of your guitar. It fits into my gigbag as well

okay thanks alot. i've heard that installation by a professional can cost 50-80 bucks depending on the guitar. i've also heard that installation is simple, so is it worth while to do it yourself?

oh yours doesnt have the 2 holes left behind from the old bridge right? cos i saw the bigsby installation video for an epiphone dot on youtube and there were the 2 holes left behind.
