  • Do you guys not have a standard size adapter for an ES? On your website it says that only the shorter scale models will fit.

  • @blacktopproductions I'm not affiliated with Vibramate. I suggest you send your question to them. I simply enjoy making videos and educating people.

  • Someone recently sent me a question regarding installation of the Vibramate. Unfortunately, the message was lost. Would the sender please forward the original message to me.

  • Do you think this would work for an Epiphone ES-339? I just got one and I'm very used to using a Bigsby tailpiece, so I'm trying to find a solution to adding one to the ES-339. I'm just concerned because it's semi-hollow and this seems to be more for solid flat top guitars.

  • @americanpinupband Thanks for your question. The B5 adapter was originally designed for solid flat top guitars such as an SG. However, it works great on Les Paul-type guitars like mine.  If you look at the Vibramate web site, you will find pictures of it installed on semi-hollow guitars such as yours. Assuming that you have the standard bolt spacing for a Gibson tail piece, it should work fine.

  • nice. i like the dog nails in the background!

  • @ryangene I have a miniature poodle that likes to make her presence known during my recording sessions. She often distracts me and causes me to slip up. I've had to repeat takes because of her shenanigans. LOL

  • This looks great! I love Bigsbys but don't want to drill holes in my babies. I might just put a B5 on my Gibson SG Special 60s tribute with a Vibramate.

  • @filmforninjas If you have a hard-tail PRS and you want to add a Bigsby, could investigate using the Vibramate. I would suggest contacting them to see if it would fit properly.

  • Do i need it if i have a double cut prs se
