I bought a Bigsby B7 and corresponding Vibramate kit and popped them onto my long-suffering Les Paul.
Inspired, I decided to give myself the shakes for Xmas. My old pal and Premier Guitar colleague Andy Ellis hipped me to the Vibramate, an adapter that allows you to install a Bigsby tremolo on many types of guitars with no drilling or other permanent modifications to your instrument.Ī Bigsby and Vibramate were a centerpiece of a cool makeover project the magazine concocted, transforming a beat-up ’70s Epiphone in a bitchin’ Bigsby-bedecked bombshell. Sometimes it pays to write for a guitar magazine!
It’s a holiday miracle! The 30-minute Bigsby tremolo installation.
