• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

I just ordered a Special Doublecut with the intentions of modding it a bit. It has the wraparound stop tailpiece/bridge. I want to add a bigsby, but it looks like they need a separate bridge to work. Is there a model that drops right on to these guitars? otherwise, can I install a B5 (id rather not drill holes but if I have to.....) and replace the bridge with a tuneomatic or similar?

Mount the B5 behind the wrap over bridge. Replace the wrap bridge with a Schaller direct replacement, (uses same anchor bushings), wrapover bridge with tunamatic style adjustable roller saddles.
