Installing Bigsby on Epiphone Les Paul Ultra 2

[whyuforcemetosignup]

Hi Folks,

am interested in installing a bigsby trem on my epiphone les paul ultra 2. The thing is the les paul ultra 2 has a hollow body and I'm not sure if the installation is possible. Where would be best for this?

The price is also something worrying though pls also advise how much it would cost roughly.

Thanks and looking forward to your advice!

go to www.elderly.com

best price on the net for bigsbys.. i got mine there

http://elderly.com/accessories/items/B70D-NKL.htm
this would be the model for your les paul its the korean-made B70 at USD$82.
the gold one is http://elderly.com/accessories/items/B70D-GLD.htm USD$123

alternatively you can get the US-made B7 which is more than twice the price at USD$209/$235 for gold..

installation-wise, KC at Zen/Maestro guitars has a lot of experience installing Bigsbys, he did mine flawlessly in the past. it would cost around $50-100 to install depending on what else needs to be done

your epi les paul ultra 2 is semi-hollow, there shouldn't be a problem installing a Bigsby at all.
