bolero Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 well, I couldn't leave well enough alone...but it's definitely better enough, now used a vibramate, so no drilling etc and can be returned back to 100% stock. those things are the best Bigsby accessory ever!!

bolero Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 yeah, it is one of the best guitars I've ever played ps it looks a bit crooked on there because the stoptail studs are angled slightly, but it works fine. I guess that's the tradeoff for not drilling the gtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurph1 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 But does it stay in tune? That's the question.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smurph1 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Even on Strats I've had I always took the whammy off and blocked the tailpiece because I can't stand an out of tune guitar!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schundog Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I guess I'm just a boring stop tailpiece guy, but congratulations, anyway! Hey, if it didn't require drilling and can be easily reconverted, why not give it a try, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brentrocks Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 do you have locking tuners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 no locking tuners...new strings too, so I need to work it in a bit I have never had a personal issue with being slightly out of tune with a strat or a bigsby.....I figure it adds to the whole organic experience I actually like Hendrix at Monterey, when he is all out of tune on "like a rolling stone" etc -->if you set the nut up properly so the strings don't bind ( no pinging noises when you bend strings/vibrato ), stretch new strings out, and have enough wraps on the tuners, it is actually pretty stable honestly though, you should just sell that red 357 to me & be done with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smaj Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 You guys crack me up, you order these guitars, then you have to change them. Why not order that way to begin with ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockabilly69 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Bolero, be very careful with the Vibramate Mounting plate screws, they left little holes in the top of my Firebird because I tightened them maybe a little too snug. It also happened on my Les Paul Special with the same plate and I was trying to be careful! By the way that's a great looking ax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 You guys crack me up, you order these guitars, then you have to change them. Why not order that way to begin with ? well, this way I can flip between bigsby/stoptail and I already had all the parts Rockabilly that's a good point, you mean the screws that bolt the bigsby to the plate went thru & damaged the top of your gtrs? thx for the headsup!!
