RG w/Bigsby

[FPSBelarus]

Hi! I´ve been trying to install a bigsby on my RG since, more or less, 3 or 4 months ago and I´ve finally succeeded! It´s my first guitar and it isn´t finished, it still needs to be painted, wired and the harware must be installed. But what I find important is that I finally installed a TOM and a Bigsby successfully on my RG and I wanted to share my enthusiasm with you as you gave me all the help I needed to make it possible (It´s my first guitar so don´t be too harsh on me if you don´t like it ).

Have you tried stringing up yet? Is the neck pitch angle okay?

I´ll string it soon to test it, but the neck angle is okay I shim it.

I've never seen such a thing but I like it. Especially with the raw look of the wood like that.

Looks like an RG321MH sans paint and plus sharkfin decals.

Thanks! Actually, I like the wood as it is right now too but I think that painted it would look better.

Yeah, when I started with this all I had in mind was to make something unusual

Actually I bought the body without knowing the exact model, but after looking pics on the internet I guess it probably is an rg321

Bigsbys make everything better!

That's pretty cool! I'd rub about 10 coats of tru-oil on it and be done. It looks great just how it is.

Dude, that looks awesome. Kinda the opposite of people putting Floyds on Teles and other classic designs. I really dig the raw wood look too.

Well played! Can't wait to see more pics. :beerchug:

Dude, thanks for that link. That thing looks awesome!
