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.

@jimmypagen10 on this one we used the B700BK

@bigsbyguitars what bigsby model did u use?
-
@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.

@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!
-
can you add a guitar synthesizer pickup to a guitar if it has a bigsby installed on it?
-
i say...take it to an expert!! this is kinda dangerous for someone who hasn't done it before!

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

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.

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