Towner - A Bigsby Retrofit Kit

[Christian J Towner]

What do you think of my kit.

http://www.townerusa.com/

I have invented a kit that alleviates the guitar owner from drilling holes in the body of the guitar when installing a Bigsby vibrato. The top part of this kit can fit any Gibson guitar because the bolt holes are the same in all of their electric guitars.

This kit is mounted in place of of the stop tailpiece with the existing bolt holes. Rested over the strings, and applying the necessary down tension needed per the height adjustment of the bolts.

This kit can be adjusted to whatever height you want and or need to accommodate the action of your strings & bridge height. It can be canted, per the adjustment of the bolts, so there is an even amount of tension over the strings.

Other important information to know about this kit. I used a Bigsby B3 with a Tune-O-Matic Schaller Roller Bridge on a Gibson ES-335.

It can accommodate Gibson, Epiphone or Ibanez Guitars:

Les Paul models

Archtop models

SG models

good luck patenting somthing that has already been done, vibramate is pretty much the same idea.

Thanks for the info Samba. My patent has been pending for 3 years now.

In comparison to the other kits mine allows a ES-335 guitar owner to have the option of spending less

and using the traditional Bigsby B3. Also, given the optional use of the Bigsby B3, you can install it on a Les Paul also.
