  • Just a thought, if you were to install a B5 to a guitar using the Vibromate system, would you get the same addition in tone as the Bigsby wouldn't be in direct contact with the body of the guitar in the same manner as drilling into the body?

  • @rayjaysonic

    it should be close, but its difficult to say. Having the vibrato attached directly to the body is best way to transfer the energy and increase the sustain; but how much difference there would actually be is hard to say.

  • Bigsby's just look great even if, as in this case, the damn thing probably costs more than the guitar it's fitted to!

  • yeah but damn its painful to watch the guitar getting drilled. i cant imagine a fender getting drilled. scary

  • @ajam50 Not true. It needs a rounded bottom... though I'm not sure how it would work on an Explorer shaped guitar.
