I think the Bigsby looks odd on that modern styled guitar.

With 3 pups already, the bigsby just makes it look way to busy. JMO

Is that a B5? If so it's not the right model anyways.

Re: Bigsby poll

who cares what it looks like...

The question is, Do you want a Bigsby??

If so then do it...if not why waste the money.

+1. Too much metal, too much weight.

Just doesn't look right to me.

hell ****in' yes; i've said that before about that guitar. i love the look on a shredder guitar, and it beautifully counterbalances all that chrome in the middle. the three pickups look far worse without it to my eye.

Until this moment I would have said "Every guitar needs a Bigsby!"

... Today I was proven wrong.

I actually like it! I voted "Yeah" just because you'd have to permanently alter the guitar (screw holes) but I like the look.

Let me clarify my first post. I think it looks bad on that style of guitar.

I don't care about the style of guitar as much as I really don't want to see the kind of hack job it would be to put a B-5 on a carved top.

That was the other issue. I could use billet spacers on the rear, but that would look silly.

It's just the wrong piece for that guitar. Not designed to work with those specs.

If you can't use the one that has that plate run from the strap pin like you see on Les Pauls and 335s - say for example that you don't have the clearance for it because the bridge is too close to the bottom of the body - then just walk away from this idea. That's my advice.
