Bigsby Vibrato Installation - B700 Epiphone

[blackmagic491]

can you add a guitar synthesizer pickup to a guitar if it has a bigsby installed on it?



[bigsbyguitars]

@blackmagic491 most likely. It depends on which synth pickup you choose. The pickups will generally sit in front of the bridge, which makes the Bigsby a non-issue.  Good luck!

@bigsbyguitars what bigsby model did u use?

[bigsbyguitars]

@jimmypagen10 on this one we used the B700BK

[sickabillyskater]

Hey I have a dot studio and want to install a bigsby

but to get the exact same sound as you i was wondering what amps your playing it on???

its driving me and a buddy nuts!

thanks for the video!

cheers

[bigsbyguitars]

@sickabillyskater we used a Fender Twin Reissue. Great combo!

[rayjaysonic]

Would it be worth fitting a roller bridge to the guitar??? About to fit a B5 trem unit to my SG and am finding conflicting views on the use or need for a roller bridge.

[bigsbyguitars]

@rayjaysonic I would try it with the stock TOM first. Properly set up, you won't have any problems at all. A great pairing!

[rayjaysonic]

@bigsbyguitars Yep, sticking with the stock TOM. It works fine, I just added a bit of lube to the nut and everything works and sounds fantastic.

[MusicMan44144]

i say...take it to an expert!! this is kinda dangerous for someone who hasn't done it before!

[ajam50]

somebody told me can i use bigsby to any guitar??

[pliskinn0089]

I am really big fan of GIlmour but i have a LP , will i be able to do the same amount thing with a bigsby , whats the diference with a strato tremolo bar ?

[telecasterthommy]

Anyone know roughly how much a guitar shop would charge to install a bigsby on a telecaster?

[Jimbowholivesinsoup]

Would be cool to see it on a Epi Casino.. but this explained me a lot, and showed its not that hard, thanks :)

[elliotlovesfox]

its handy when they demonstrate your exact model guitar, gives u confidence

[snipekop]

they shood have done this on a les paul or a flying v since theyre more common

[Andrewjn15]

i might consider doing this with my dot studio, thanks for the guide

[davo809]

thnx so muh for posting this vid , i own a epi dot studio & have been wondering whats involved with attaching a bigsby for a looong time . nice werk :)

[DocHelliday]

Makes me wanna put a b-700 on mine...already got a "v-cut" gretsch bigsby on it, but I left the stopbar using it all "roller bar"...works pretty well, but you should really get locking tuners because it'll throw outta tune no doubt.

[johnnyboy29775]

hey man, do you know if i have to order a different type of vibrato for a les paul special (it has a flat top) than for a studio? please write back, im dyin to get a bigsby

[williamsanders]

For a flat top guitar, like your LP, the best thing you can do is installing a Bigsby B3. If you don't like the Bigsby being anchored to the back of your guitar, like this one, a Bigsby B5 might be a solution (normally found op Fender Telecasters and sometimes a SG). These are top mounted

[gumdropster]

Bigsby also has vibratos for the SG model, so they should most likely fit your guitar. Go to their side bigsbyguitar. com

oooo my friend has one of those ! D:

[proofguitar]

how much did the bigsby cost

[andybarone1984]

Question: I`m thinking of installing a bigsby. What I need to know is: if i am to play over the bridge (to get the chimey sounds) would that come out on the amp? or do i need to add a mic under the strings between the bridge and the bigsby?

[hammy022]

Is the space underneath the tailpiece solid or hollow? How does the structure of the body hold up to the bigsby?

[wheatcentzero]

Dots are semi-hollow which means that they have a solid block of wood running down the center. That's what the stop tailpiece attaches to so we know it's structurally sound. Bigsbys for hollow bodies are a little different.

[Eljonno]

Would this work on an LP?

[basement94]

Cool vid. ;)

[christer1992]

the dot studio got really cool

[tbone1der8]

great vid...thanks!

[scania26]
