darwinphilosophy Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) My next project is going to be similiar to a Les Paul but lack the curved top because its my first real build and I want to get more used to things before I take that on...I was wondering is would this vibratoLink work on my guitar that is flat instead of curved? This one is a lot more affordable than an actual Bigsby which is a plus...And also I personally like the look of this one better. Thanks Edited April 3, 2007 by darwinphilosophy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwedishLuthier Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I'm finishing a guitar with this tremolo right now. If I remember correctly the unit should fit a flat top guitar too. You might want to adjust the area close to the strap button/hinge part to get it to lay really flat. Else you will get a slightly “downhill” feeling/look. The adjustment will be a slight recess to accommodate a riser part close to the hinge. You can see it if you look close at the pictures. I strongly recommend getting the complete package (vibrato + bridge). I have not actually played a real Bigsby but this unit feels/look OK. But the bridge was a really nice surprise. Before actually mounting it I can say that it looks and feel like a really high price unit. And it isn’t! Bridge locking to the studs, locking saddles, extra long adjustability for the saddles are a few things that I notice. It will be really interesting to try it out in a few days.
