Bigsby B5 help!

[Dave_Mcpherson]

Alright, i bought a Bigbsy B5 knock-off from Ebay, that unfortunately came without screws and instructions. So, screws isn't a problem..but..instructions are. How do you install it? And how do you put the strings onto it??? I've tried googling it, without much luck. I'm installing it onto an SG, so, advice please! This is my first ever tremolo, so excuse my not knowing anything . Thank you in advance,

Here's a little info, hopefully it will help.

Yours will screw to the top of your guitar rather than to the end, but other wise the instructions at Bigsby .com should work.

Also make sure you lube it with 3 in 1 oil, or liquid teflon or something.

I use a pencil to prebend my ball ends.

Great! The Bigsby/SQ is a classic combination, if you like 60's psychedelica, dig John Cipollina of Quicksilver Messenger Service. He had a Bigsby equipped SG.
